You can see the amount of new snow in these Skidoo tracks at the summit. This snap shot is just outside the Ski Patrol HQ.

The centre of the snow storm is well south of Tremblant, however we are getting some snow, just not as much as Montreal's South Shore.

The temps are quite mild at -2C and the forecast does not show them rising above the freezing mark, so lets keep our fingers crossed on that one.

We show a forecasted accumulation of up to 15 Cm, or about 6 inches within the next 24 hours which will be a big help as yesterdays conditions were beginning to show some slick areas and this new snow over that base will go a long way toward restoring the "Grip" level.

Here is the Link to the Canadian Government Weather Service RADAR image for Tremblant:

You can activate the 7 screen, X 1 hour, 10 minute interval progression by clicking on the Blue arrowed button in the left upper corner above the Radar screen itself.

PLEASE NOTE: the radar image is "Live" when you activate it and does not retain archive time slots, so it is current at the time of your use.

You can see the accumulated amounts on the railings here and if you look closely, you will see small diagonal white streaks against the dark backgrounds in this snap shot which is the snow falling right now.

ONE LITTLE BONUS:

The "Blowing and Drifting" Factor.

The wind is fairly moderate from the South East, which means it will be moving across the Mountain from the Duncan/Geant Side, diagonally toward Nansen.

This will result in some drifting along trail sides that will mean extra depth for those who like to play in new snow, so be sure to explore all the "Nooks and Crannies" of your favorite runs!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

"SUPER DEMO DAY" Saturday, Feb 21st... THIS SATURDAY .... Make your plans now! ON AT THE SOUTH SIDE BASE. This is your chance to try out all the latest gear. The big advantage here is that you will be able to find selection and expert advice on ALL the great brands you want to check out, IN ONE LOCATION, then TRY THEM OUT!

"ICING ON THE CAKE"... Thank you Mother Nature!

Here is a Web Cam Snap Shot, Courtesy of http://www.tremblant.ca, that clearly shows the Trail side snow accumulations that will be typical today.

We can expect up to an additional 10 to 15 Cm, or 4 to 6 inches of FRESH SNOW, over the next 24 hours, so not only will today be Great, but tomorrow is going to be fantastic as well!
