9 Cm, or 4 inches of Fresh, New Snow!
Nice!
So, on top of a complete "100% Open" recovery from where
we were last week, we continue to see the total accumulation
increase as Tremblant's base comes into the seasons maturity
with February only a day away.
Tremblant is in very fine shape and if you can,
you are completely justified in making every effort to
"Get Your Butt Onto These Outstanding Alpine Trails"

positive feedback when we ran the first one, so we're adding
this one because it fits with at least two of today's themes...
the restoration of 100% Tremblant, and pun intended...
Get Your Butt Onto These Outstanding Alpine Trails."
Besides, we really like the colours and contrast of the
pic. on it's own merit.)
Butt All Kidding Aside....
Now we move on to today's "Serious" theme...
As Previewed in last night's Apres Ski....
with one additional acknowledgment under "Nansen" captioned content.
For All Prospective Tremblant Visits,
Repeats, New Or Otherwise...
Local, Regional, Global Or Otherwise!
This Is A Great Year To Be At Tremblant!
Here's Why...
The Big Picture About The Open Trail and Snowfall Statistics
Numbers At Tremblant For The '11/2012 Season.

January 29th, 2010: 81 Open Trails on 162 CM YTD(*)
January 29th, 2011: 90 Open Trails on 165 CM YTD(*)
January 29th, 2012: 92 Open Trails on 235 CM YTD(*)
(*)Year To Date
Basically, we've got about 70 CM, or almost
28 inches more snow than we've had on the same
date for the past two seasons as a direct depth
comparison.
We have also had less "Thermal" or "Rain" events, "Thermal" being
defined as above freezing temperatures, so retention has been better.
Obviously, visiting Tremblant this season is going to reward guests
with the quality that comes from a substantially deeper Natural Snow
Base than the 2 years prior.
The surprising thing is that those two preceding seasons were great seasons
anyway due to the outstanding efforts and talent of the Tremblant Mountain
Operations Crews, who made them that way by optimizing the resources they
had to work with.
That can only mean one thing.... apply the same talent and effort, but to the
far larger amount of Natural Snow we have this season, and you're left with the
only logical conclusion...
This Is A Great Year To Be At Tremblant!

abundant snow, the beautiful Tremblant views, and the super
high quality Snow Surfaces for excellent Skiing and Boarding,
as it shows Snow Shoe Trekkers making their way to the Summit.
We tend to think of Tremblant as only for Alpine Downhill Skiing
or Snowboarding, maybe a bit of cross country, but this pic. reminds
us that Tremblant has a whole range of different activities that mean
real, possible options for just about any visitor. You don't need to be
exclusively a Skier or Boarder to find things to participate in, and at
a vigorous level too. Snow Shoeing UP Tremblant's slopes to the Summit
HAS to be great exercise!

Cruising On Nansen Makes You Look Good!

(Please Note: We ran this depiction of great form on Nansen
as stated, in last night's Apres Ski and it turns out one of our
twitter followers identified herself as the skier. We say "Bravo
Lindsay" as this is her first season skiing! Excellent work, Great form,
we'd call you a "Natural"!!!)
---------------------------------------------------
The quantity and quality of the Tremblant snow and surfaces are
the kind of Alpine Terrain that makes you look good, regardless of skill
level. This is particularly important for Beginners and Intermediates
who really rely on consistent surface quality to make technique
progress without having to be worried or distracted by undo glitches.
Cruising on Nansen, as close to perfect as you can come to in a 6.2
kilometre trail, allows you to establish a sustainable rhythm that will
advance your skill sets at light speed compared to the short up/down
cycles of smaller Alpine centres.
Typically immaculate grooming on Nansen creates
ideal Alpine learning surfaces.

---------- End Of Review --------------
...Today's Weather:
Welcome Back Winter @ -12 C under Sunny Sky's that will
definitely have thermal energy that you'll be able to feel
in any wind sheltered trail-side location.
Westerly breezes at low to moderate, so what there is
of them will be coming up the Mountain and moving across
the Summit from McCulloch, Beauvallon sectors toward Lowell
Thomsa, Duncan.
The Summit is gonna' be Foggy 'cause they've got the Snowmaking
on to add additional reserves to La Crete.
There's a bunch 'o snow forecast for Tuesday night, so if
you're a regional Tremblant fan who likes a lot of fresh snow,
and you can get the day off, Wed. should be your objective to
escape to Tremblant.
