We'll try to have more up later if time permits, but..
What a beautiful, cool, crisp early Tremblant winter day!
The ropes came down about 1:30 and we got
to ski Versant Sud, South side, down to the TGV.
Anytime your daily intake of scenery includes this,
you're havin' a good day...

Immaculate, fast, grip, carving perfection.
This run keeps on delivering what we think are the
finest pre-season training surfaces in the Laurentian's.
People young and old were rippin' up P'tit Bonheur
at a high rate of speed (if there was no one else around)
and finding excellent traction while doing it.

that ended about 3 days ago has effected the base which
is very firm and has some icy sectors.
Today will be better than yesterday in that regard as traffic
and overnight grooming gradually help to loosen things up.
We found enough soft snow on the sides of runs to almost completely
avoid the icy bits, however, proper care and control must be
maintained with speed at all times. When there's this kind of
firm base around it almost goes without saying that fresh tuned edges
are critical for control input on steering and braking.
Continued from yesterday....

to lug around, so when it gets a break for something as
important as "Front Row Centre" parking so we can access
our gear all day without having to walk miles....
We say "Thanks VW Canada!" This is a great program
and we hope you keep it up!
The super friendly VW rep's included local Laurentian TV
Host Dominic LaVoie making everyone feel welcome.
