---------- T360 Late Night Apres Ski Edit @ 11:23 P.M. -----------



We were expecting some snow, but we don’t
think anyone expected this much snow. There
were many white-out, quite near blizzard
moments. It spanned most of open hours
and was still vigorously snowing Apres Ski,
in some spots, at the rate of roughly 1cm
every 15 minutes.

The wind was very strong and punctuated
with fierce gusts coming up Versant Sud
South Side, yet on some Nord/North lee-side
zones it was almost calm and the snow was
piling in rapidly there.


We have no idea what the Official total is
going to be but we can tell you that it
disproportionally settled on Nord/North
slopes.

Photography was impractical. Camera controls and lens
were smeared by snow blast in seconds, so we don’t
have many images. More detail in morning but if you
can go, don’t waist a second, get vehicle loaded up
tonight and head out ASAP.

Your Front-Side Expert Challenge Is...

As Easy As It Looks!

It has been 33 days since the last time the temps touched
Zero C and the value of that stretch of time as a thermal-free
period that is still continuing on can not be overstated.

We call these consecutive Sub-Zero C days “Pure Winter”
as they have very high degrees of universal snow quality
with minimal evidence or exposures of the base.

For sure, there can be very densely packed zones that may
present as slick or icy where traffic gets focused in some
trail centres or intersections, or where frontal facing pitches
have been exposed to very high wind speeds, but expressed
as a percentage they are very small and if you have sharp
recent edge tuning, they will be perceived as negligible.

T360 Fan report:

Very good grooming with fresh light snow covering.
Some icy steep pitches, but all Green/Blue’s very fine.
Flat light and low visibility in some areas. -10 C at top
but there is wind chill.

Weather Notes:


A lot warmer and not much wind, a great combination!









Conditions Notes:


In The Groomed:

“Incremental” is a word that can be applied to the daily
improvements generated by the night-shift as the scope
of refinements expands upward and outward after every
big snowfall event and we expect today to be a classic
example of that. Basically, in the days following big
snow, everything settles out evenly as rates of compaction
get the groomed density optimized and mogul resistant.

The added bonus is that as a workday, the attendance
will be a fraction of the weekend so the quality of first
tracks should be durable until last run.

The seamless smoothness of the recent trail surfaces
should continue on with the glide characteristics of
cold-formed that commonly exhibit slightly elevated
levels of friction that you might never even notice as
anything other than very easy and forgiving control
over all respective Green/Blue/Black challenges.

For all our Snowboard friends, what that means is that
to traverse trail runouts or plateaus, you will want to
pump the board on the last pitch to build speed so
you don’t have to take a foot out.


In The Sous Bois/Hors Piste/Glades and Un-Groomed:


Soft, deep, easy cold formed natural powder snow
is the basis for great conditions throughout these
trail groups. That is not to say there are not significant
challenge or hazards, but for experienced Experts
there are fantastic opportunities for adventure that
are the product of over a half a metre of new snowfall
in the last 10 days or so.

The bonus in the Hors Piste is that wind shaping has
created extensive drift lines that in some cases are
well over a metre in depth.

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 the
First 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.
