Every season’s evolution benefits from a periodic reboot.
Today we have a double benefit with both temp’s and
14 cm’s of fresh snowfall.
As far as the temp. side goes...
The conical mass of Mt. Tremblant becomes a reserve
of stored refrigerant through the process of absorbing
cold into increasing depths of frost penetration, but that
can only happen when there is sufficient cold exposure
to cumulatively have the transfer effect, so we are happy
to have periodic mid-season cold snaps. They help build
or maintain what we call “thermal momentum” that is heat
resistant in the warmer spring days ahead.
Even as this is being written, the overnight temps are still
dropping and in less than a half hour from the original
posting time-stamp, the thermometer has cracked -20C.
For perspective, look at the historic average daily temp’s
in the 14 Day long range outlook and you’ll see this is an
unusual, but nevertheless welcome little winter reboot.
As far as the snowfall side goes...
We are getting very close to the T360 Official marker
of “Super-Season” accumulations. The 30 year average
seasonal snowfall TOTAL is roughly 430 cm’s and we
define a “Super-Season" as a 20% higher attainment
than that average. Doing the math that would mean
516 cm’s is the actual number, but we still consider
500 cm’s an easy proximity alert and worth mentioning,
especially considering it is only Feb. 24 and there are
still roughly 8 weeks to go, so a lot more snow could
fall in March and April.
Weather Notes:
It won’t take long to see a rise in temps this morning
so the comfort levels should come up noticeably by
mid-morning, particularly if the sky clears and some
solar energy gets through.
The Nor-West winds will be rising up over the Mountain
from the Beauvallon to Nansen quadrant so riding up the
Flying Mile or TGV Quads may even feel like warm bubbles
with both the breezes and the sun at your back.

Conditions Notes:
Generally very fine to excellent due to multiple days
of grooming refinements in sustained sub-zero C temp’s
however, with the big wind that the new snow was
delivered by, there will be some variable wind-facing
and lee-side differences that have been shaped depending
on either the direct high speed exposure, or the backfill
drift-in.
There may be some exposed very firm base zones as well
as the odd icy bit on the zones that got wind-blast, and
there may be some uncompressed softness in some of the
lee-side zones where drifting accumulated depths that
exceed the stat total.
Look for patterns and anticipate the shape of things
to come based on the way they’ve been shaped along
the way. “But”... do not assume things will be exactly the
same around the next corner because the wind has
acted in very unique ways in, over, and around Mountain
contours.

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.
