Supplementary Spring 2012 Season, Closing Week.

Post by T360 »

Archival Supplement, Spring 2012, Closing Week.

Forum Archive Review,
Utility Hint:


A quick note to those who want to research specific weeks, months
or any number of sequential days in this Forum archive....


When reviewing dates from any of the past, numbered, archived index pages,
you can use the "Previous Topic" or "Next Topic" buttons, located
screen far right, in upper date/message bar to scroll through sequential
dates, or use your browsers "back" button to stay on the selected index
page for non-sequential date reviews in either forward or reverse order.


There are 25 days on each index page and there are approximately 6
index pages per season, depending on the variable number of days
in each season. So basically, if you want to look at the same time frame
from year to year, you can just move back 6 index pages from where-ever
you are and you'll be in roughly the same dates.


Additional pictures from our Photo library
from the closing days of this season.

This thread is loosely formatted in 3 posts(so far)...
The first starts with a few of closing day itself...
The second is a bunch of North Park snap shots...
(Are you in the picture?)
The third is more random pic's from closing week...
(in no particular order. We may add more if we find
other ones we really like. We may also add
additional replies attached below if time permits)

Above: We had put this one on the Facebook page from
a larger pic.flie than these forums will support, so it's
been re-sized for inclusion here. The main reason the
file was so large is the complexity of the background
and the abundance of snow, all of which require a lot
to record.

What we like, of course, is all the snow. If you have not
yet read through the actual April 9th Post, you can go there
to see more on just how much it snowed... a lot, and
that made it a very special day.

Below: Looks like mid-winter, but it's closing day.
If you could put the thoughts of "Over" out of your
head, the enjoyment of a fine snowy day was just
as the same as mid-winter too.

Above: We're always fascinated by the ongoing work
of Mother Nature on even the smaller scales and we
think that's where there's incredible beauty in both the
shapes and colours. These tree-bourne mosses are
photo-sensitive, meaning they respond to the sun by
facing the light source. So, if you see them trail-side
in the morning facing the sun in the east, you can go
back in the afternoon and find them facing west.

Above: No line-ups at all on closing day, and with the
quiet ambiance of the snowfall, a very private experience
for those lucky people who could make it out.

Moving back to earlier days in the final closing week...


Please note month/day/yr date codes for individual pic's.

Even though Beauvallon was getting the "Micro-Wave on High"
solar setting, there was enough base to keep it near wall to wall
with complete coverage.

There was a definite "Sweet Spot" time wise, when the firmness
of overnight lows gradually gave way to the mid-day sun.
We've seen closing days with far less snow than we had this
year. We feel that was a combination of the thick base and
the heavy sustained frost of mid-winter that allowed a high
level of surface retention, despite the heat.

There were a surprising number of people in lessons
durring closing week this season. For the most part,
surfaces were soft, but because the over-nights had been
below freezing, they were not unduly mushy and as
a learning environment, they were easy to manoeuvre in.

North Park Tricks

Random, unscripted, not planned or staged North Park Tricks...

Please Note: If you're "In the Picture" and you'd like a copy of the
orig. file so you can brag and show off to all your friends...
let us know by Facebook or Twitter and we'll send it to you.

This applies to any pictures in the archived forums as well.

99% of our North Park shots are completely spontaneous, we have
no idea who the subjects are unless contacted by them or those that
recognize them, but regardless, we think they all look great!

More on Closing Week conditions...

Generally, conditions for the closing week were stabilized by the
return of a more typical spring daily temp cycle of over-night
freezes and day-time softening.


The previous weeks of sustained 24 hour above freezing that
forced the majority of East Coast Ski areas to close, gave way
to normal, just in time for Tremblant Crews to salvage some fine
terrain for us to close out with.

For the most part, the surfaces remained nicely firm and fairly dry.
There was less soft snow at upper elevations and for much of each day
rather winter-like fast 'n firm high speed snow that carved well.

Traffic was light and for those that wanted to be out for the exercise,
a lapping routine was an exceptionally fine way to burn off calories
as speed can be safely maintained on uncrowded runs. Utilizing
land contours to help shape carving radii is easy when you don't have
to worry about bumping into anyone if you want to use the whole
width of a run.

Uncrowded Runs... Just you and your shadow...

Easy Snow For Snowplows

Anytime is a great time for a lesson, but when the snow is
this easy to manoeuvre in, it's a really great time to learn

Wide open space for wide open fun!

The open portions of the Lowell Thomas sector remained very sweet
for closing week, both for Park Modules/Activity and general cruising.

The Duncan, Geant, Superieur sector became 1000% more accessible
with the the snow-bridge installed by Mountain Crews. It worked
perfectly to facilitate easy entry to this surprisingly well preserved
terrain.

in the city when you could be at Tremblant having fun and getting
great exercise?
