pull through to give us virtually glitch free Groomed Terrain.

You can find instruction for the increasingly popular Telemark
form of descent. Telemark is very commonly use by members of the
Ski Patrol due to it's very manoeuvrable capabilities that offer
a lot of control versatility for tight circumstances at accident scenes
and while moving people off the Mountain in the sled/stretchers.
Obviously, control and manoeuvrability are benefits of this discipline
that appeal to many recreational Skiers.

Nansen is smooth, soft, still fairly fast and a great place to work on
technique. This pic. may look a bit soft on the focus, but was actually taken
while moving, hence the slight blur. We're including it though because
if you look closely, you can pretty clearly see the clean, carved edge
this Ski School Instructor is making. Super easy on surfaces this good.

If the Groomed is almost flawless...
Then the un-groomed is a different story.
Not necessarily a bad one either, unless of course you are a beginner
or an intermediate without a lot of confidence and patience. If you are
an "Expert" then the un-groomed may offer some challenges you'll want
to try, but you will still need the patience component referred to above.....
The most accessible Un-Groomed Expert Terrain is North Side Duncan.
You can get to Duncan by laterally traversing from "Rope Tow" in the
Lowell Thomas sector, across on the Cat Track that goes between the two
and is marked by direction signs posted by the Ski Patrol on Rope Tow.
There is one other Un-Groomed North side option, but this option really
requires a lot of "Unconventional" and definitely "Expert" technique.
Here's how it starts out...
The Unusual Entrance To Geant and Superieur...

with the Caribou Cup, and also because we think the "Hazards"
are more than we want to expose our ski bases to.
If you've tried it, get back to us on Facebook or something...
Yesterday's Caribou Cup Staging Zone....

and all you can see left of him is a ski tip, upper pool left. He was
rescued alive and was seen later at the bar.

When the Open Trail list is at these numbers, it's very important
to know that the friendly, fully bi-lingual staff of the Tremblant
Mountain Info crew's with their distinctive uniforms featuring
the big "?" question mark on their backs, are completely briefed
with all the info.you need.
They know how to "connect the dots" with the best current detail.
Stop and talk to them if you have any questions at all.
Below....
The best way to "Cover the Ground" so-to-speak, on Tremblant's
Open Terrain is to literally do it yourself....
but you've only got one week left!

so this is an attempt at high speed carving, ski poles in one hand,
camera in the other. Maybe we'll get better at it, but it takes a bit of
balance adjustment and a wonky over-hand grip on the camera that
still allows you to press the shutter button.
