Please Note:
This is a slightly reconfigured/adapted excerpt from
our 4.21.25 Apres Ski Season, Apres Ski reporting.
An April 21, 2025 Statistical Data Point:
This is not just for skiing or weather “Nerd’s”, it is a
fundamentally important consideration for near-future
Ski Holiday planners who want to maximize the odd’s
of an authentic, genuine, consistent quality “Winter” ski
vacation that has highest probability of durable, thaw-free
snow conditions.
Tremblant Is Getting Snowier As The Seasons Pass.
1997 To 2025 Annual Snowfall Statistics.
For purposes of recognition and labeling to identify seasonal
snowfall accumulations we acknowledge a set of standard
attainments starting with the pre-existing statistical 3 decade
average (439cm’s) as a base, followed by what we call a “Super
Season” which would be 20% over the pre-existing base average
(526cm's), followed again by any season with over 600 cm’s
which we call a “Super Season Superieur”.
Tremblant Winter Ski Season, November 2024/ April 2025,
Is A Super Season Superieur.
In the past 3 decades of this era of statistical records we
have access to since 1997, “Super Season Superieur” has
only occurred 3 previous times(2008, 2019, 2023), making
this season number 4, with 604cm’s.
Here is the raw data, snowfall totals for every season
from 1997 ending this April 21, 2025:
(analytics to follow.)

O.K., so now that we have this season’s raw data, lets look
at how that fits into computing trends and averages.

Rising Snowfall At Tremblant By The Decade:
A further review of the snowfall metrics as they are related to
subdivided decades within the whole recorded time span really
highlights what we think are very significant rates of snowfall
increase at Tremblant that may have a direct correlation to
the incrementally rising temperatures generally acknowledged
and accepted as Global Warming.

Repeat/Rephrased Point From Graph #2: Basically, not as much
snow falls when it’s really cold as compared to when it’s -7C,
+/- a couple of degrees C, so it is our theory that even when the
winter temp.’s here go up by a fraction of a degree or 2, it can
have a profound and positive effect on natural snowfall production
because Tremblant is in that Mother Nature snowfall sweet spot
more often.
A “Bottom Line” summary point for considering all this weather nerd
information is that Tremblant still has three months of winter where
the daily average temperature is below Zero C/32F(Dec/Jan/Feb),
while for regional peer example, Vermont only has one(Jan), so if you
want better chances of a ski holiday that does not have a lot of, or so
many off-on rainy bits and/or icy thaw cycles in either the daily weather
cycles or the base strata, Tremblant has absolute statistical advantage.
Of course, Mother Nature can do almost anything/anytime odd,
but in addition to the 3 months of winter temperature stability,
Tremblant currently/also has 3 decades of well documented
rising snowfall favour.
Just for the record, and because this topic is statistically based
around the winter of 2024/25...
This data is configured in different order within our 4.21.25 original
Mountain Conditions daily journal reporting, but over there it included
a graphic breakdown of the weekly incrementally rising snowfall totals
so we are including it here as a supplement to this article so you can
see the weekly increase for the 2024/25 season as it built steadily up
at a very consistent rate.
(Please Note: For readers using Imperial measurement, 604 cm’s is
roughly equivalent to 20 feet(19.81) of natural snowfall.)

Re: Above.
Despite the fact that there was some late Fall weather that delayed
the seasons opening by one week, on November 18, 2024, in
anticipation of our “Super Season” forecast, we wrote:
“As any experienced Tremblant Fan can tell you, things can and do
become very, very cool and wintery around here in a heartbeat.”
So, once it got going... The consistency of incremental snowfall
over the course of this winter, together with the cold over-nights
in the depths of mid-winter were a winning combination for
optimized overall retention. When combined with the daily
grooming cycles compacting trail surface thickness and density,
the fine descent quality across all skill levels was remarkably
durable right up to last run.
No doubt, prevailing Sou-West wind shaping did favour Versant Nord/
North Side and Edge sectors, but that’s historically typical and a
significant reason guests can rely on finding superb Sous Bois/
Hors Piste and Glades at Tremblant.
