Reminder:
The 24 year average for total seasonal snowfall
accumulation is 424 cm’s. We define any season
with 20% over that average as a “Super Season”.
For rough calculations, that is just a wee bit over
500 cm’s, so at todays 551 cm’s we think it’s
entirely fair to point out the resultant levels of
excellence in coverage and quality should be
motivational factors that get you out the door
for Tremblant A.S.A.P.
Durable, very high coverage spring conditions
do not happen to this degree every season, and...
it’s a long time until next November, so get your
butt’s in gear regional Ski/Board fans, there’s less
than a week to go.
Weather Notes:
Yesterday at this time there was an +8C temp inversion to
the Summit, today, it’s a much closer to normal 1 degree C
cooler, but there no doubt things are generally going to end
up a lot warmer overall wth the projected Versant Sud/South
Side base level +13 C high.
Please note in the long range outlook the number of
potential overnight sub-zero C’s that could happen
over Mountain elevations. The functional benefit, if
that goes as forecast, would be the daily reset of
good natural speed, at least in the early and mid
phases of the remaining days, not to mention the
possibilities of snowfall over the cooler Mountain
instead of rain. That can and frequently happens at
these overnight temps. All we can do is hope...

Conditions Notes:
In the Sous Bois/Hors Piste and Un-Groomed:
As long as we can get meaningful “Proof Of Snow” pics that
are this good, we’re going to keep on including them for
the value of such an amazing amount of snowpack reserve
at this calendar date.
However... The implications extend far beyond any specific
location though, as any time you can demonstrate this amount
of ambient snow retention anywhere on the Mountain, for any
April 12, it tells you all you need to know about the foundational
support for the entire Alpine Snow Sports trail network.

The ski pole you see above is 122 cm’s and it has been vertically plunged
straight down into the snowpack, well below the surface. We brought the
handle back up so it would be visible. Estimated retained depth in this
sector continues to be variable over topographical ground contours,
but still between 1.5 to 2 metres.
In The Groomed:
Here, and everywhere else groomed, is where all that
snowfall total of 551 cm’s is making such a profound
contribution to the fabulous amount of April 12 coverage.

Even though there are most of the very common softness
factors present with +11 C, April 12 typical spring conditions,
one additional benefit we have at this stage is how shallow
the heat penetration has been. After 4 sequential months
of overnight low temps routinely reaching into the mid-minus
20’s, or lower, degrees C, the injected frost into the mass of
the Mountain and the trail base is still completely evident
as a timed released primary trail support component.
Back in the January depths of really frosty overnight’s,
when we wrote about the seasonal durability benefits
we’d get in spring, this tremendous resiliency in the
frosted base support is exactly what we have today.
Below:
If you were to stop on the exact spot of this pic below, just
below the second from the top crest of trail # 68, “Rope Tow”
in the upper Versant Nord/North Side Lowell Thomas sector,
you could not force a ski pole more than 4 or 5 cm’s into the
groomed trail surface.
The solidly frozen substrates are totally intact and simultaneously
supporting the soft layers on the surface for a remarkably mogul
resistant level of all day durability while still providing excellent,
totally reliable, lateral turning grip.

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.)
