The Weather Is The News...
It’s Really Kkkkool Outside...
And In That Regard, We’re Not Alone.

Weather Notes:
Just because we’re not alone in this continental-wide
Polar Vortex caused cold intrusion, does not make it
any easier to work with, it does however make it easier
to understand.

Conditions Notes:
In The Groomed:
Clinically speaking...
Extraordinarily fine cryogenic snow performance everywhere.
The obvious challenge is being able to stay warm enough
to safely function for any given period of time.
Here’s an image of the way cold snow skis with a
basic quality we’d call “Dusty” due to the highly
fragile nature of the crystalline structure that
seems to become very brittle on a microscopic level.

The ski characteristics of very cold snow do not make it
better, so much as it just makes it different and therefore
unique.
It is said that the Eskimo/Inuit people have over 50
distinct words for snow that describe its attributes
for various things like building igloos or driving
dog team sleds. We’re not sure what their word or
words would be for this snow under sled tracks, but
what we can tell you is that under skis it begins to
exhibit sand-like qualities, with a very dry and granular
texture that tends to have that dryness extended into
moderate friction at temps between -18 C to -28 C.
The advantage for skiing in all this is that it typically
makes steep descents easier with a natural breaking
effect. This is the functional range that we’ll be working
with for the next 3 days.
In The Sous Bois/Hors Piste/Glades and Un-Groomed:
The fine sand-like granular frictional qualities as well
as the enhanced steepness control described above
typically apply across the entire Sous Bois group,
however there is one separate situation in the Hors Piste
where there may be a crusty substrate under the newest
snow that was set up following the last warm, thick
snowfall that is now well buried. If you poke down through
that layer it may take a lot of muscle to lever ski tips back
up, so be careful exploring in any deep untracked lines.
------------ Conditions Caveats: --------------
Extreme Cold Weather Advisory.
Start With Zero Exposed Skin. Frostbite can occur in seconds,
especially with forward descent velocity. To avoid skin damage
and pain, every single square cm of skin needs to be covered.
Do not ignore painful fingers or toes. If it hurts but you stay
outside anyway and then the pain goes away, you are at very
high risk for nerve damage.
Avoid taking little children outdoors until you can verify safe
exposures.
Take frequent indoor warming breaks, and consider a later start
when temps are forecast to rise.

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.
