This pic above was taken earlier this week. It looks differently
now after the recent little "warm" incident, but non-the-less, you
can see the kind of base that has been developing here. This run
is on the SnowMaking list as shown below and when it does open
it will be in very fine shape.


Real Winter Weather !!!!

Temps starting out this A.M. at -12C will seem like the
genuine Winter thing and it will be critical to have all
potential air gaps sealed around wrists, waist, neck, head and
any other area that heat can escape from, or cold can reach.

Winds should be moderate from the Nor-West, coming up
the P'tit Bonheur sector, then across the Summit towards Soleil.
While they are not a huge velocity, at these temps you will feel
them if gaps are not eliminated.


Conditions Caveat:

The vast majority of surfaces will have high traction levels, but...
....the base will be extremely "Fast" this morning due
to a rapid decrease in temps following a short, "damp'
incident that ended yesterday. Surfaces will be a very
fine machine granular with a small fresh, natural overnight
snow, but there may be areas with a slick or icy substrate
or layer beneath.

Caution and Speed control in areas that you are newly exploring
is recommended, prior to ripping around, particularly at Trail
intersections, on steeper pitches, over blind crests, or where
there's lots of traffic.

Below is the close-up excerpt of the Official, Downloadable PDF
Trail Map for this favourite sector of Tremblant's Versant Nord,
The North Side, notated with basic info. for those that may not be
familiar.

For those not familiar, standing facing uphill at the North Base,
the Duncan Quad Chair, on the left, goes all the way up to Tremblant's
Summit. You can cross over the Summit to get back to the South Side.
The Expo Quad Chair on the right only goes 1/2 way up the North Side
and serves it's own unique portion of the Mountain. Not all of that is going
to be open tomorrow, but what there is, will be a great start to the early
season!
