102/102(*) Open Trails At #Tremblant.


someone we know...

"If I Passed Away And Found Myself Doing Laps On P’tit Bonheur,

I’d Think I’d Have Found Myself In Heaven."

A Front-Side Carvers Paradise.

One Exact Reason You Should Choose Tremblant.


Versant Nord/North Side Tremblant (Green)Trail # 72, P’tit Bonheur.


The story goes that Erik Guay’s(#) father, an instructor/coach
here at Tremblant, would take his young race protégés to Nansen
for training there to teach them the subtle arts of technique and
style because many of the most desirable skills can be developed
when the terrain is not threateningly steep and nuance can be
taught more easily before working up to steeper, faster levels.
((#) Tremblant’s local F.I.S. World Cup Champion.)

It is in this way that P’tit Bonheur also works, and for all ranges of
skill levels who want to thrive and grow. Everyone from aspiring
Beginners/Intermediates to well established Expert front-side
carvers, anyone capable of using current style parabolically
shaped skis for their intended purpose, can benefit from lapping
descent cycles on this magnificent trail.

It’s not that P’tit Bonheur is better than Nansen, It’s not that
Nansen is better than P’tit Bonheur, it’s just different in a
unique and meaningful way.

The benefit, the way we see it, is that P’tit Bonheur has 6 distinct,
very gently progressive topographical steps along its descent line and
those steps are remarkably effective at simultaneously allowing and
teaching (those willing to practice skills development), the relationships
between pitch angle and both the thrust and glide properties of applied
carving technique at very manageable alternations of gravitational effect
along its path of pitch and plateau that help you form an easily controllable,
natural speed regulation.

Doing laps here with the right, genuine and properly tuned carving skis,
will make you a better front-side carving technician in an hour. period.

It is simply one of the finest, most enjoyable, incredibly beautiful,
technical carving development trails on the East Coast of North America.


Here’s file shot, mid-P’tit Bonheur, POV Down, and yes, it
works for all our Snowboard friends the very same way...





Combined with the super-efficient cycling on the
high speed Lowell Thomas detachable quad lift
that services this sector of the Mountain, it is
possible to do +/- 12 min. laps. So, if you’re here
for a ski-week holiday, and on quiet low traffic week
days, you can get roughly 4 laps per hour here, using
moderate speeds that are safe and cautiously aware
of shared skills. Nothing crazy, just a steady pace of
some of the very best aerobic capacity and technique
development work that can be done, anywhere, on
skis or board. Period.







Weather Notes:


Starts cool, but gets really easy.







Conditions Notes:



In The Groomed:


Superb, connective, seamlessly integrated pristine corduroy.



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


This new, big dump is exactly what was needed for a refresher
so go wild exploring but be mindful that trees don’t move if
you try to push them out of your way.
