All things considered, the groomed array was smooth
and very well compacted everywhere. The heaviness
from thick, wet snow just did not exist. However... the
moisture that so significantly contributed to its weight,
ended up generating a bit of drag, but that was a very
minor relative factor and it literally made steeper pitch
angles easier.

The views were spectacular, as usual, and the cloudy sky drama
actually kept solar intensity from building excessive surface thaw
so the top layers never became overly saturated.

Traffic was very light for any Saturday and spread out over such
a wide square area, there was very little in the way of wear stress
on the trails, and things remained largely mogul resistant all day.

More in the morning, but for now...
Bottom line is extraordinarily fine conditions for any April 9 in history.

A Snow White Wonderful April Addition
To The Groomed Trail Base.

There was a disproportionally large snowfall over Mountain
elevations, maybe up to triple the depth of what fell in the
Versant Sud/South Side Old Mt. Tremblant Village, adjacent
to the Resort base.
We think this is a classic example of an “Orographic”
precipitation event where warm, moist air was pushed
from ground level, up the ramp-like shape of the Mountain,
into way cooler air over the 645M/2116ft. higher elevations
(where the temp averages -4C cooler than base levels), causing
an inordinate amount of condensation in the form of heavy,
thick snowfall over the Summit.
We respectfully submit that this was a unique event where a
synergistic combination of atmospheric humidity and ambient
air temps within a range of +2C and -2C across Zero C, were
a perfect combination to produce maximized Mountain-top
snowfall potential.
Weather Notes:
During the day, obvious sunny spring excellence, but for
overnight less certain. Due to the similarities in temp and
precipitation forecast profiles, we think there is a very good
chance of mostly or even only snowfall over Mountain elevations,
basically, for the same reasons as the snowfall of yesterday.

In this pic below you can see both yesterdays thick, heavy and
damp snowfall coming down at a steady rate, as well as the way
it has plastered the entire grooming tiller gear behind the machine.
Getting these machines as far out as possible over the sticky depths
for today is the very best chance we have of compaction that can
restore smoothness and speed.

Conditions Notes:
The groomed conditions today are totally dependant
on the rate of compression that the machines were
able to achieve with the night-shift.
The new snow is very thick and heavy so where freshly
integrated into the base we think it will be a fantastic
construction grade finished top layer that should rival
any Interstate Highway smoothness due to the density
generated by the 100% internal humidity it has. This
snow is dense, so dense we would rate it as “Ballistic
Grade" Snowball Snow. It immediately hand packs into
such a solid sphere that if thrown by a Softball League
Pitcher, it would easily break a common residential window.
The Sous Bois/Hors Piste and Un-Groomed will probably
be a very individualistic, trail-by-trail unique situation.
There was a lot of wind induced drifting, so surface depths
could be highly variable and when combined with changing
pitch angles over crests, there could be many and somewhat
unpredictable differences in frontal resistance, so we are urging
appropriate speed reductions on all initial explorations.
