As temp’s float down and around practical limitations of
extended safe outdoor activity, from a clinical standpoint,
the Skiing remains exceptionally fine with some truly
outstanding performance qualities we elaborate on in
the Conditions Notes below. The challenge is obviously
in the dressing preparations, so get out the layers, cause
yer ‘gunna need ‘em again today...
Weather Notes:
Warmer than yesterday by a handful to begin with,
but still cold enough for caution, and the unusual
part is that there’s not much in the way of a typical
daily rise. Today's temp curve is relatively flat, so
plain and simple, it gunna be a ‘KKkkool one, all day.
Just a reminder for both present and future readers,
extended periods of cold like this are not either normal
or average. Look at the 30 year daily high and low averages
in the 14 day long range graphic below for more typical
ranges.
The 30 year average daily high temp for today is -5C.
Of course... if you’re booking a ski holiday in
September, it’s difficult to anticipate exactly what’s
going to happen in January, but that’s why we include
data that shows averages. Please also note that the
lows that happen overnight are huge assets for the
stabilization of trail snow conditions during the days
that are statistically +18 C degrees warmer @ the
average of -5 C for this date.

Conditions Notes:
Despite the characteristics of the initial/early -30’s C snow,
if/once the air temps get up to the low -20’s C or above,
one very large bonus has been the return of exceptional
natural speed and glide qualities.
The majority of yesterday was rocket-fast. We are forecasting
the possibility of the same for today. This natural speed quality
generates a very liquid-like felling underfoot and virtually every
descent has this wonderful feeling of “Flow” that allows the contours
of your path to sort-of come alive because what you are getting
is a very efficient application of gravity that is sensitive to almost
every little change in pitch angle that comes along. For a skilled
Front-Side carving technician, what this means is minute degrees
of acceleration literally lie at your feet that can be used for optimizing
turning force between individual contours.
This became totally addictive fun and it could be found within
relative scale between Nansen and Duncan, between McCulloch
and P’tit Bonheur, and everywhere else between, in virtually all
groomed terrain, across all skill level ratings.
Considering the crowds are not crowds at all, you are all
by yourself most of the time, so it is totally safe within the
measure of “alone” to dial up the speed and it was possible
to do GS mode air-turns on P’tit Bonheur, and then on the
next run, do Super-G style big-air turns on Duncan where
Mountain crews have left a descending series of snowmaking
big bumps down the left side of the trail that you can carve
across laterally at enough speed to get zero-gravity lift-off
on every single one.
For Beginners, the easy speed and glide are a natural enhancement
to learning because you get to keep just enough momentum to
build a rhythmic pattern of repetitive motions to reinforce your
instructors directions. This is a huge asset for a quick learning
curve when for example, you have all 6 kilometres of Nansen’s
almost flawless descent to work with, all at one, completely
uninterrupted shot.
The significance of this 6km continuity benefit can not be overstated
for Beginners. Working off the “Bunny Hill” at Yourville where you
have to stop and get back on the lift every 3 minutes can never
get you into the “Rhythm Zone” that a seamless Green trail of 6km’s
(as smooth as a golf course fairway) can do. As a consequence,
and putting it bluntly, we think you can learn and absorb more here
in a handful of days than you might get in a whole season on any
local ant hill.
For Intermediates, a day of practice in these surface conditions will
provide a giant leap forward in understanding the relationships
between land contours and pitch angle influences on speed
and directional input that can allow you to make rapid progress
in assertive and confident development of safe control. You just
have so much space to work with, so not only do correcting and
adjusting have immediate effects, but they do so without any harsh
rebound due to the very forgiving quality of the soft, yet grippy
surfaces that span such immense lengths and widths.
For legitimate Experts, it’s all of “Go Anywhere, Do Anything”,
however it is essential to keep in mind the use of “Expert” is
specific to actual skill levels and not an aspirational association
in the minds of wanna-be’s.
In the Un-Groomed, the moguls are variable in size and spacing,
but generally, the narrower the trail, the natural hazard potential
is more pronounced due to traffic patterns with confined dimensional
width. There are still rock outcroppings and very irregular wear
patterns in some raw un-groomed trails.

In the Sous Bois/Hors Piste zones, just refer to the pic. below.
This is very light, dry, powder snow and where you can find it
undisturbed, it is feathery, dusty and with a bit of pitch to assist
in any depths you encounter, it’s easy to ski in.

Bring Back The Memories... 
Research Future Visits... If you would like to look up dates you visited Tremblant, or you
want to research days/weeks/months to visit, you can sample what
they look like historically, month by month, year by year.
When reviewing dates from any of the past, numbered, archived pages,
you can use the "Previous Topic" or "Next Topic" buttons, located
screen far right, in upper date/message bar to scroll through sequential
dates, or use your browsers "back" button to stay on the selected index
page for non-sequential date reviews in either forward or reverse order.
There are approximately 6, 25 day Index pages per season.
(
If you "Bookmark" the link above, it will always take you to theFirst index page with the latest posts. That gives you an immediate,
current to 25 day past, review scroll of Winter Alpine Conditions by
consecutive date.)
