102/102(*) Open Trails On All 4 Fully Open Sectors At #Tremblant .
After an episode of very nasty Continental weather,
Take your pick...
T.G.I.F.
or...
All’s Well That Ends Well.
Either way, at 102/102, we end up in the same place...
A good chunk of the East Coast of North America got
slammed with major freezing rain last night, but not Tremblant.
(See attached Supplementary Weather Forecast Data below.)
Thank goodness for Latitude North.(#)

Based on the variable Nor-East and Easterly wind directions
that were basically blowing huge amounts of snow across the
Summit over a range of degree from over P’tit Bonheur to right
up the Lowell Thomas Quad, above is our one pic. forecast for the
back-fill drift-in benefit where the vortices should have pushed
mega-snow to be deposited over the topographical peak of the
Mountain...
(#) Southerly Latitude Samples:
At Stowe Vermont this morning 83/116 open trails, 37F, and raining.
At Killington Vermont this morning 135/155 open trails, 50F, and
lift opening delayed due to high winds and rainy/freezing rain weather.

Here is why we are forecasting significant
wind-induced snowfall drift-in for Versant Soleil:

Conditions Notes:
8 cm’s of fresh new snowfall with more falling now will benefit
the entire Mountain after the nasty spell that came 4,000 Km’s
from the early part of a vigorous Texas Low, affected everything
the day before yesterday.
The thing is, Tremblant’s northerly latitude saved it from getting
more than a very brief burp of warm and wet back then, and to a
large extent the wet was a sleety mix so it did not have any
significant erosive effects. Yesterdays reduced availability was
to facilitate quality processing, not because anything was lost,
which is the principle reason why you’re seeing an immediate
return to 102/102 open trails.
For sure, the base is going to very firm on an overall basis, and there
will be some icy bits, but today is day-2 of grooming refinements
so there should be a far greater degree of loose top layer consistency,
especially with the blend of the 8 cm’s of overnight natural snow
integrated into the mix.
There will definitely be zones of favour.
Last nights winds became “Howlers” and vast quantities of
snow were being moved over and around topographical contours.
Some direct wind facing crests and the pitches below may exhibit
bare base and icy bit exposures, while many lee-side back-filled
zones could have drift-in depths at double or more than the stat total.
In the Sous Bois/Hors Piste/Glades and Un-Groomed, an overall
improvement, but still with highly individualistic characteristics.
As indicated by largely Nor-Easterly wind direction during snowfall,
it is our forecast that one of the the main Lee-Side drifting benefit
zones will be within the Versant Soleil sector, and secondarily within
the Edge sector that sits behind the Johannsen peak.
Bottom line here is that the Mountain will have a unique
wind and accumulated drifting fingerprint, but it is all winter,
all snow, and 100% fully Open.
