74(*) Open Trails On Versant Sud/South, Nord/North And Soleil Sectors At #Tremblant .



Genuine, Authentic, Beautiful Spring.

It would be difficult to imagine a more ideal combination
of typical spring weather with winter-like coverages. For
sure there are receding high spots on the lowest portions
of the Sud/South base levels, but for any mid-April the
degree of wall-to-wall widths in virtually all open, groomed
terrain is fantastic.

When you look at this one below, besides the absolutely
wonderful trail surfaces, just take a peek at the very evident
trail-side coverage in the bush. This level of residual snowpack
would certainly be common to March, but for it to be here to
this degree of fulness in mid-April is genuinely remarkable.

Weather Notes:


The Summit web cam is not functional this morning so
we can not tell you what the temp is up top, but what
we can tell you is that at roughly the same elevation as
the Sud/South Flying Mile Sector, in the adjacent Old
Village of Mt. T, there is a skim of ice in the puddles of
the hill-side contours. Normally we’d say the typical
-4C of cooler Mountain elevations would put the Summit
at -3C, but we’ve had a lot of temperature inversions
recently, not to mention, quickly rising morning temps
into “+” plus range, well above Zero C’s, so any firmness
that might be there for first run may not last for more
a few minutes. We could be wrong on that if temp’s
hold cool for extended time at elevations.




------------- 9:24 A.M. Weather/Temp Observations Update: ------------


Whooo Hooo... We were right on this Summit -3, Sub-Zero call
and in our opinion it will be a fundamental element for all-day
conditions consistency/durability as softness will be delayed
at least and minimized at best.

-------------------------------------------------










Conditions Notes:


There could be initial crusty bits but we do expect everything
to become soft as the warming air temp begins to work on
surfaces that already have lingering hints of softness underneath,
left over from the last days of warmth and dampness.


Where freshly overnight groomed, there has been great
all-day smoothness, although with the spring heat, there
have also been hints of surface saturation that causes a
bit of a thick sensation underfoot. It’s spring, it’s warm.
In todays specific case with some overnight cool, we
could see a mini-winter-like reset for some early hours,
but if the overall forecast holds...


What you should end up with for the majority of the day
is a very shreddable spring snow surface that is easy to
control if, if, if... you have a laser focus on speed control.

If you are a legitimate Expert, you can get miles of
air-time bump jumps as you hop from top-to-top,
otherwise...

The challenge in these bump conditions is to keep
the speed at just under launch velocity. As long as
your edges are on the snow, you’ve got mega-grip,
however, these are indeed, and quite literally, launching
ramps if your speed gets out of control. They have the
capacity to send you towards the sky with surprising
quickness if you’re not completely in control of speed.

-------------- 9:15 A.M. Proof Of Snowfall Insert Update: ------------


Wow... April 16??? YES!!!

It might be small, but it’s HUGELY symbolic.

T360 Proof Of Snowfall


Very sweet icing sugar snow coated tree boughs
tell you all you need to know about overnight
weather that has not only reset the solidity of
the base, but provided the utility benefit of a
small, but totally functional new layer of trail snow.

------------------- Mid-Day Update @ 1:40 P.M. -----------------------





Wow... If this isn’t close to perfect for the end of any season
we don’t know where else to look. Absolutely gorgeous spring
conditions, certainly in the top tier of historic references.

---------------------- Mid-Afternoon Update @ 2:11 P.M. --------------------------



The trail pictured in this update below, Versant Nord/North Side
Beauchemin Bas/Lower, has been open since November 27, 2021.
It was excellent from that moment and it is still excellent now.
It is not a super-steep or “Extreme” trail of any sort, however
it has consistently been one of the very best technical carving
trails on the Mountain due to its use as a corridor for grooming
operations that radiate outward from its key position. In this way
it repeatedly gets multiple passes and consequently enjoys a
unique degree of compaction that keeps it very very stable.

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 at
both page top and bottom 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 the
First 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.)
