Brrrrrrrr...., Frosty, Chilly, Nippy ....

That means it's cold outside. No Kidding eh?

-26C, O.K. that certainly is a cool one, but look on the Bright Side !

It's going to be sunny!

Will that make a difference?

Yes, but only when you stand still facing the sun in areas of no wind.

Otherwise, COLD Weather Warnings in effect. COVER UP!

Exposed skin like noses, cheeks, and ears can freeze in
as little as 4 minutes today and if you are moving quickly
through the air, faster.

The other Bright Side to today is that the Skiing and Boarding
is going to be fantastic.

Lots of recent, fresh, dry Snow is the best surface you can
ask for in many ways.

This is when the surface really develops that "Squeaky” quality
and you know that your level of control will be exceptional.

All you have to do is put on the right gear to keep yourself warm.

Today is a great day to do "Laps" off the Gondola, so you can get
the 8 minutes of shelter and warmth riding up in enclosed comfort.
You would be surprised at how much warmer 4 or 5 passengers
can make that space.

If you need a break, today is also a great day to go into the Ski
Shops and price out any of the Boot Warming Systems that they have.

These systems are very good now-a-days and investing now will
provide you with an excellent way of coping with these conditions
for many seasons in the future.

The open run count is at 80 this morning due to Le Soleil being
closed today, other than that, all the big stuff is open and ready to go.

The wind is from the North west, or coming up the Tashareau side
and it could be brisk at the summit, so be cautious about standing
around waiting up there for too long.

A beautiful sunny day is in the forecast! Remember to pack
a few extra layers, pull out the face mask and don`t forget
your hot paws because we are expecting some northern
winds and temperatures around -22C. For those who are
willing to brave the cold, all the reasons are good to come
ski at Station Mont Tremblant! Thanks to Mother Nature,
50cm of fresh powder has covered our mountain this week
and the snow conditions are absolutely incredible!!


** Please take note that the Duncan and Soleil chair lifts
will be closed due to the cold weather.
