Weather Notes:
Today... Fabulous! Forecast... One day of “iffy”(!).

(!) The reasons we specifically regard Friday’s outlook in
terms of both the rainy icons in the 14 day long range
forecast above, as well as the Environment Canada Special
Weather Statement below as “iffy”, are as follows:
1) Any time the Sud/South Resort base levels have single
digit “+” values, the typical cooler elevations at and over
the Mountain can and very frequently do, produce only
snowfall over the trail network. The lower the number,
the better the odds of snow.
2) In the Special Weather Statement there is a specific reference
to “Significant snowfall amounts North of the St Lawrence River”.
Tremblant is so far North of the river that we wonder why these
rainy icons are there at all. To be fair, the statement also says the
storm system is not completely predictable, so boundaries of
effect may vary.

Conditions Notes:
If we had to characterize the overall groomed trail conditions
so far this season with a single word, it would have to be...
“Technical”. Up until 72 hours ago we had not had much fresh
snow in a while, so even with grooming and supplementary
snowmaking, the base was very firm and for Experts and
Intermediates, there were some slick or icy bits that required
good “Technical” skills of balance, posture, edging and smoothly
applied input force, all with reduced speed in order to retain lateral
grip without losing traction and skidding out.
That all changed for the better with the new snow. Even though
there have been a couple of days of softness and bump formation
due to the sheer and sudden snowfall volume at over 25 cm”s,
several night-shift grooming cycles should now have substantially
achieved greater universal compaction across the whole trail network.
Consequently we think groomed conditions will exhibit far greater
all day smoothness and mogul resistance.
It should be noted that we’ve had many excellent, select zones each
and every day as pictured in this performance sample from 12/15,
the difference we think you’ll see for today is in how much more
there is in finished square area that will preform exactly like this:

The beautiful “curl” of shredding snow you can see under
the toe-piece of the closest ski above is exactly what you
want for reliable lateral traction. This skier has a serious
level of “Bite” happing in this turning action and such a clean
displacement of the snow without hardly any visible skid-spray
confirms the capability of these wonderful surfaces to hold
very high performance levels of applied energy then, and to
an even greater degree, now.
Further “Big Picture” conditions insight:

The amount of snow you see in the 12/12 sunny pic.
(upper left) above with snowmaking, eventually allowed
Mountain Crews to open 36 trails by 12/14, 2 days later.
The fact that we’re at 38 open trails with all the obvious
benefit of this much new snow visible has to tell you a
lot about the quality rise that’s there now in that roughly
same amount of pre-existing open terrain, but with 25cm’s
added on top.
