Everything Good We Expected In The Orig. Post Came True!
Fantastic front-side grooming produces an amazing,
dare say, radical and very impressive improvement
in universal speed and surface quality, overnight.
Congratulations on a Fantastic Job Mountain Op’s!!!
Absolutely worth every ounce of effort you can make to attend. Period.
We forecast “Dramatic Positive Changes”, and that’s exactly what we got!
More in the morning, but it’s going to start a cool one,
so be ready for that, then look forward to some sun
and a wee bit warmer by afternoon.

102/102(*) Open Trails On All 4 Sectors At #Tremblant .
When the Trail du Jour is 6 Kilometres long,
was originally designed and cut in 1938,
and is as close to flawless as it is right now,
you can safely get away with calling it...
“Old Reliable”

Yesterday morning we called for Nansen to be the “Star” of the
Green/Beginner terrain and indeed, it was arguably the very best,
most consistent, and top-to-bottom reliable groomed trail on the
Mountain. Considering the workout that all the general level of softness
created, Nansen was a total relief of near flawless ease for any and
all skill levels who appreciate smoothness and refined, very well
compacted surfaces that are firm, track-free and just plain easy.
Otherwise, the overall level of softness in the new snowfall
was prone to tracking and thickness, so there was significant
challenge for Beginners and Intermediates. What we’re hoping
for today is a more widespread level of grooming compaction
that takes the surface density to a firmer, and more uniform
level, as was the case in select zones such as our Nansen feature,
as well as can be seen in this Johannsen sample below.

Conditions Notes:
So far, after the most recent snowfall of 2 days ago,
there have been a considerable degrees of softness
and loosely tracked up surfaces that are prone to small
mogul formations, so it has been a genuine workout
for all skill levels to muscle through both the thickness
and the bumps. Anything that is freshly groomed this
morning should see fairly dramatic positive changes as
would be typical for day-2 following a major snowfall event.
For Beginners, thank goodness for Nansen. We have
featured it in this post specifically because of its reliability
and it should always be considered a “Go To” trail for
optimized surfaces.
In many cases for genuine Expert steeper pitches, the
abundant loose top layers have been an asset for natural
speed control as it can generate a “banking” effect to
hold very well connected edge-sets for alternating
applied turning force using a primarily parallel-style
technique. Due to the very light traffic, this has meant
that there is an absence of deep moguls in the regularly
groomed pitches and at the end of the day, there are moguls,
but they are all small, quite round, soft and even, and they
can be very useful as small ramps for little jump-turns if
you’ve got those skills.
One consistently surprising case study for this week
has been Versant Nord/North Side Duncan. Mountain
crews have left a series of big snowmaking contour bumps
down the descending left side and they have been both
fun and useful. The useful part comes from the ability
to traverse them diagonally from the low right side, so
you end up with an almost small uphill apex at their
tops. Depending on your speed this is a great way to
offset gravity while making fully carved turns, and with
a touch more speed you can get clear air off the crests
while being at a full 90 degrees to the fall-line, so there
is almost no downward force momentarily, allowing very
well controlled descent progression in essentially what are
giant steps. It is also pretty clear in this pic to see the thickness
in the snow that was so challenging. This trail was listed as
groomed, but evidently there is pervasive softness in the snow
that is well tracked by the noon hour.

In the Sous Bois/Hors Piste and Un-Groomed, the new snow
has been an overwhelming benefit and especially because
of its rather thick and dense qualities, it has significantly
reduced hazards in many, but not all areas, as the wind
shaping favoured a lot of localized zones, particularly on
the more easterly oriented Versant Nord/North Side sectors.
