Which ever you choose today, make sure you're adequately
bundled up because this is Cold Weather Warning territory.

ZERO exposed skin day, folks.

Of course, the Skiing and Boarding are going to be
outrageously good, so if prepared, fun is still #1!

The Importance of Edge

Saturday Morning on the Edge.

Not only is the "Edge" one of the most popular sectors
of Tremblant's terrain, but "edge" sharpness is definitely
one of the most important factors in your skiing or boarding
experience when we have a very firm base the way we do
now.

We are recommending that for best results, a fresh tuneup for
either your board or skis is an ideal way to go.

Our base is very high quality, but there are some slick areas
that even when minor in nature, can cause loss of traction if
your edges are not up to par.

Get the "Edge" on performance with fresh "Edges" from Tremblant's
expert Ski and Board maintenance shop in the "Chalet Des Voyageurs"
at the base of the Cabriolet.

The thing with edges is that performance degrades little by little,
day by day, so you don't really realize how much you're missing.
A common reaction to freshly tuned edges is...
"Wow, feels like I got new skis"

Same thing for Snowboards.

The staff at Le Ski Shop are at the very top of their field
and are well known in the region as one of the best places to
get your gear tuned, but not only that, it's a very convenient
location too. Drop 'em off on your way out, pick 'em up on your
way in.

The 3 pic's below show the location
of Le Si Shop.

Tremblant is...
Cool, Crisp and Fast!

Get the "Edge" on performance with fresh "Edges" from Tremblant's
expert Ski and Board maintenance shop in the "Chalet Des Voyageurs"
at the base of the Cabriolet.

(In case you're wondering, this is not a paid commercial.
They have no idea we're doing this.
We're not sponsored by Le Ski Shop, but we had a bunch
of family up and took some gear in for service.
Not only did they do a great job(as usual), but they did some extra
little adjustments for no charge, so we thought we'd feature them
a bit here because the benefits of a fresh tuneup
are entirely real and appropriate for conditions, as well as to
prove the point that we take our own advice. Great edges
equal great edging.)
