Weather Notes:
Looking at the individual temp. sources this morning
shows 3 separate readings which we believe are legitimate
due to the variation in collection point elevations in the
local surrounds. What we’ve seen frequently in the recent
past are 2 or 3 degrees C temperature inversions to a
slightly warmer Summit and we think that may explain
the differences that are basically atmospheric strata
between valley’s and peaks.
On a different note, one of our most favourite weather
factors for the coolest part of the day this morning is
no/very low wind speeds. Any degree of cool is far easier
to take when wind speeds are low and if you can find
a safe, calm trail-side spot for a rest break that is in
direct sunlight, you will feel solar heat energy within
literally 45 seconds.
------------ Supplementary Weather Data: ----------------
Another dip in the Polar Vortex wavy pattern
coming back in for tomorrow, however if you
correlate that with the 10 day Long Range data
in the big “if...” above, there is warm light in the
future forecast as a return to more normal
seasonal ranges is projected to start Sunday.
Until then, it’s still legitimate bundle up territory
but at least it’s not crazy cold anymore.
It might be wishful thinking, but it is possible
we’re passing out of the coldest portion of the
Eastern North American regional winter pattern
for the whole season... maybe.

Conditions Notes:
In The Groomed:
Superb traction and control surfaces from prime
cold-formed snow with as close to zero icy bits
as is humanly possible. To be objective this is
notwithstanding traffic patterns over recent
wind-shaped snowfall deposits that may show
thinner top layers around and just below
topographical crests on steeper challenges.
Generally these are some of the most forgiving
groomed surfaces of the season however applied
turning forces through edge hold/lateral grip is
still enhanced by freshly sharpened edges. This
point is especially important for aspiring Beginners
and Intermediate’s who seek new steepness or
speed challenge because even the highest most
forgiving density of well compacted firm snow
will not hold grip if your edges are round/dull.
With the right tools for the job, learning advancement
now can be some of the most rapid progress you may
ever make, but with inadequate tools, it can be a lost
opportunity where slip ’n slide prevail over grip ’n rip.
In The Sous Bois/Hors Piste/Glades and Un-Groomed:
So forgiving that you can get away with almost anything.
Even dull, old, rounded off edges won’t hold you back
when there’s this much snow in the bush.
They will be a disadvantage in the well worn mogul
zones where the back-sides of bumps can exhibit “firm”
exposures that respond with better grip from sharp tools,
but if you’re content with slip-sliding swivel turning it’s
not going to be too much of a challenge to step down the
bumps on any old skis you grab on your way out the door.

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.
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.
