12/9/09 Conditions

WINTER STORM WARNING:
Tremblant will experience a Winter Storm
system that may produce up to 30 cm of
SNOW in a 24 hour period.
(Please see follow-up evening reply post below for
Torch, Blizzard and T-66 News)
"Winter Storm" equals "Good News" for skiers and boarders
anxious to see more natural snow and this system approaching
the Mountain now could certainly deliver.
The open trail count remains at 5 this morning, but the
prospect of up to 30cm of fresh snow would radically
change things and we can't wait to see this system move
in and put a big load of natural snow on top of our base.
Of course, any big accumulation like that will help speed
up the opening of more terrain and in our case, help
Tremblant's preparations for the upcoming 24 Hour
Children's Charity Fundraiser.
Getting back to today's conditions, we can expect a fairly
strong East wind with this big Snow event, so riding up
the Lowell Thomas Chair will place the wind coming over
your left shoulder from slightly behind. If you're properly
bundled up, it shouldn't be any problem and... You'll have
a great view of all that fresh new snow building up by the minute!
The "Big Snow" is expected to start at around 10 A.M. and
continue until at least 3 P.M., so together with "Blowing and
Drifting" factors, we could see some really huge accumulations,
particularly where the wind dumps snow in the lee of trail edges.
Summit temp's today will be at around -14C, so when combined
with the brisk Easterly wind, you'll need to bundled up for maximum
comfort.

The Olympic Torch arrives at Tremblant at 10:00am. or so, and as
you can see, there is a Podium set up at the base of the Cabriolet
to host this historic moment.
In other Tremblant news:
This is one we really like... Snow Making continues on the North Side
from "Top to Bottom". As you can see here below, Snow Guns are set
up all the way to the base of the Expo Chair which means we're gearing
up to have Beauchemin opened all the way soon!
