Grab A Couple’ Feet Of Fresh Air, First Tracks At Tremblant!
O.K., so it’s a bit of shadow’y overcast, but at these breaking Zero C
temps today, we’re actually glad for a bit of a solar umbrella. Shade
like this can absolutely be a tipping point for no thaw, or less thaw,
so we’ll take it with a smile!

Weather Notes:
Weather and climate Scientists have two Official definitions
for the arrival of Spring. The first and historically most
referenced is “Astronomical Spring”, which is March 20,
when the “Equinox” occurs and the hours of day and
night are equal. The second is “Meteorological Spring”
which is used by weather and climate specialists to break
the four annual seasons into 3 month periods based on
temperature cycles.
We are going to create a third definition directly
applicable to individual Ski Resorts, which is
“Functional Spring”, and at Tremblant...
Functional Spring Arrives Today...
We are defining "Functional Spring” as the first time(s)
the 24 hour daily weather cycle begins to significantly
oscillate from overnight below Zero C, to well above
Zero C, and then back to overnight well below Zero C,
subsequently causing a noticeable potential for thermal
thaw influence that has a high probability of sequential
daily repeats.
A look at the 10 day long range forecast clearly shows
that trend, notwithstanding the additional threat of
rainy bits along the way.
Along with all that, it is essential to point out the
common effect of the elevation differential where
the Summit is typically -4C cooler than base levels,
so with any base level rainy bits, up to around +5/6 C
there is significant potential for precipitation up/over
the trail network to be snow. The reason it can happen
with temps above base +4C, is that precip. formed in
air strata above the mountain can even be quite a bit
cooler yet than Summit temp’s, i.e., Base at +4,
Summit at Zero C, 800 metres over the Summit where
snow is being formed in the cloud may be -4 C.
None of this is certain, but it happens enough that we
consider it to be a reliable probability with these cyclic
active weather profiles up/down around Zero C.

---------- Supplementary Weather Data: --------------
Considering the discussion around the 10 day long range
weather forecast above, a careful review of the March
temperature range progression is directly applicable
as concept support potential.

Conditions Notes:
In The Groomed:
Todays lead picture indeed tells you almost everything
you need to know, except for the difference between
what you see top/above as snow-dust displaced off skis/boards,
to snow-shred displacement if the temps get warm enough
to generated top level humidity saturations.
(#)The other 3% of what you need to know is...
Either way the performance across all skill levels should
be spectacular and if it warms sufficiently, even more
spectacular because lateral traction edge-hold always
facilitates increases in retained turning energy due
to the ski/board edges being able to dig into a more
bankable surface with less chance of centrifugal blow-out.
In The Sous Bois/Hors Piste/Glades and Un-Groomed:
Due to the fact that we haven’t had a really major snowfall
in quite a while...
From “Lumpy” To “Lovely”... if, if,if temps get high enough
to break the bonds of “froze”, on the way to “soft”.
Roughly speaking, 1,523,416 wild cards of anything can go,
and for sure... “Adventure Around Every Turn!!!"
Experts only please, as until heat makes it otherwise,
forgiveness in “Lumpy” is typically quite low due to
solid landings.

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 theFirst 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.
