The Magic Of These Moments.


4.8.26.Lac.T.Apres.Ski.Views.Mt.T.c.jpg

There are times in life when everything lines up for
a very rare peak of synergistically combined conditions,
we think this is one of them.


Our forecast is that today may have
some of the most ideal, favourably
converging Spring Skiing conditions
in history, but as a very limited time
offer measured in roughly 6.5 hours
between 8:30 A.M to 3:00 P.M.

------------------------------------




Of course... There’s going to be lots more great
spring skiing, but maybe not just as much and
all in one day.





Weather Notes:


With any luck there won’t be any active weather
at all during open hours. “Showers” typically
mean small random patches of rainy bits but
the important thing to note is that it is regional
reference so no active weather may even touch
Tremblant and even if it does, it tends to be at
ground levels, not so much over elevations.
We could be wrong...

Conditions Notes:


In The Groomed... But Also Generally:

48 hours ago the Summit was at -13 C. That cold,
that injected chill into the hill, has not gone anywhere... yet.
If you take your ski pole and try to stab it into the soft
groomed top layers, you’ll only get about 5 cm’s into
the surface and then the pole will cease to move as it
encounters and bounces off the solid substrates which
at this stage, are supporting a virtually seamlessly solid
base acting as a membrane across the entire range of open,
groomed terrain.

This is the delicate balance of ideal Spring. Top, soft,
mega-carve, super high traction action, is being supported
by a firm foundation of deep winter coverage being solidly
held in place by the stored refrigerant of the embedded frost
from the preceding entire winter that had some very cool
Polar Vortex influences, measured in months.

Please Note:

Depending on localized combinations of air, solar
heat energy as well as topographical inclinations,
there may be zones of surface saturations that can
cause rapidly encountered sticky bits, if, if, if...

Be observant of evolving patterns, look for surface
colouration that may indicate anomalies and if in
question, sit back a bit over ski tails to allow reduced
tip contact pressure as well as compensation to offset
any forward pitching action from unexpected deceleration.



A mini, real-time, right now, trail case-study of
Versant Nord/North Side Devils River.

This trail is typical of the vast majority of today’s
freshly groomed.


In the first one here, if you look closely
at the tails of the skis frame-left, you’ll
see soft snow “shred”. A review of yesterdays
action shots shows winter-like snow “dust”.
That’s todays difference.



4.9.26.Nord.North.Devils.River.Spring.Shred.Detail.b.jpg

That soft snow-shred characteristic is everywhere
in this shot below, however the contrast is the firm
very solidly in place base support. Stopping to take
the picture here(and virtually everywhere this morning
so-far), ski poles will not stand up because they can
not be put into the surface to a sufficient depth to hold
them in place. The thin shred depth here can hold very
high speed lateral carving force, but won’t hold a ski pole,
that’s an exceptionally fine, exceptionally rare line of balance
when practically speaking, it covers the entire Mountain in
the same way as this case-study sample.



4.9.26.Nord.North.Devils.River.Wide.Angle.Overview.d.jpg

In our opinion, there is sufficient embedded frost support
to facilitate way above average coverage for the remainder
of the season. Whether or not it is all open is another
question, but subject to individual weather-days that
may cause variable access, there’s just so much stored
refrigerant in the mass of the Mountain that even with the
potentially hot/wet weather of next week, we think they’ll
be just enough residual cold support from below to keep
extensive coverage right up to last run on April 19.


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

It’s all about this afternoon for the sweet spots of heat
and snow softness, but just look at the snow in the
bush in all the pic’s here today for a broad view of
the Sous Bois group. There’s still fantastic snow white
bush coverage in every single shot you see. Typical
April 9 would be showing huge brown trail-sides...
not this year.

Of course, there are countless individual challenges
and just as many adventures, all you need to do is
explore responsibly while taking into account and
obeying all Ski Patrol hand posted signage.

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.
