102/102(*) Open Trails.
It got up to + 7 C at Sud/South Resort Base levels
yesterday afternoon, and now it’s -2 C.
The Laws Of Physics Apply.

The very positive co-factor you see here is the
conduct of grooming operations well after the
refreeze. Everything groomed during the middle
to the end of the night shift should be spectacular
super-carve, super-smooth, beautiful fresh corduroy.
There was another exceptionally beneficial cooler elevation
differential yesterday afternoon of -9C. So, keeping in mind
that the Summit did not get over -2C yesterday, there will
likely be differences in base depths of loose of top layers
over elevations because with some +7 C softening at lower
levels, there is going to be an altitude frost line somewhere
mid-Mountain. Above that line, the top layers may be more
consistent. That will probably include most of the Nord/North
Sectors that also stay cooler because they face away from the
late day sun.
Weather Notes:
The very best insurance we have for durable Spring skiing is
the consistency of the overnight sub-zero c’s low temps.
This is a fantastic 14 day weather forecast profile for a
super-easy completion of great March conditions and
recognition of this should be a significant motivation
for sharpening up edges and booking days off to go
skiing at Tremblant.

The Apex Of Seasonal Conditions.
There has to be some point in every season that only
review can show as the “Apex”, or high point in the curve
of ideally optimized trail conditions and availability.
Have we reached that now? Probably, but not necessarily.
Recent grooming refinements that we have historically
defined as markers of ultimate seasonal grooming
refinements at Tremblant have all happened within the
last couple of weeks, however all we would need is one
good, vigorous, end-of-season snowstorm or blizzard
to move the Apex forward. In the mean-time, we’ve been
enjoying the overall excellence of conditions, especially
within the context of what we consider to be “Apex”
individual refinements that annually mark high points
of attainments in technical merit.

Conditions Notes:
Please Note: There are 40 “Progressive” Open status
trails that are subject to Ski Patrol certifications.
For best results, consult with Summit Info. Ski Crews
for up-to-the-minute Open Trail availability.

This time period is typically where we are beginning to see the
inevitable effects of “Spring”. Yesterday morning there were only
5 Progressive status trails, today there are 40. Technically, as
long as all the progressives clear, the Mountain is still fully open,
however with only one month to go, we may see some trail closures
over the next couple of weeks that may be the beginnings of the
end-of-season terrain reductions. The point here is that if you
want to experience as much of the Mountain as possible, “Sooner”
is better than “Later” for discretionary planning.
Otherwise and for today, as noted above, we expect very fine
groomed conditions virtually everywhere on the Official list.
No doubt, there will be “Sweet Spot” individual trails or sectors,
however the high quality that we have had on an overall basis
should be the primary condition status for not just today, but
for the foreseeable future as well.
The most sensitive category of trails on the open list are the
Sous Bois/Hors Piste/Glades and Un-Groomed groups. At this
stage the delay in opening is merely due to oscillating temps,
but it has been a while since the last measurable snowfall, so
there are well established traffic/use patterns and in some
cases the use combined with some of the early spring warmth
have begun to reveal natural hazards you need to careful about
navigating through or around. Thoughtful observations will
help identify patterns and safe descent pathways. Pay attention,
use low speeds for all initial explorations and allow extra
passing margins around crests and contours where vision
can be reduced and line-of-sight navigation may be necessary.

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.
