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.

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.

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:
