Close Up....
(This second one is a huge pic.file that we had to shrink to fit
on the forum at this size, Sorry about the grainy look, the
important part is all the Snow, and how good it is.

The "Close Up" Exists Everywhere Within The "Big Picture".
If you can go... do it.
There are some minor icy/firm bits, but you know what to do.
We have previous commitments for the eve., so if we can
add, it'll be Apres Midnight probably...the rest is just detail,
interesting, for sure, but not critical to making the decision to go
which hopefully, you'll do A.S.A.P.

Today, we have a 2 item Utility Notice that we ran as a draft
in last night's Apres Ski, as follows:
Item #1...
The "Only Way" to buy new Alpine Snow Sports Gear....
Go To Super Demo Day Today!!!
In an age where so many Skis/Boards are sold out of "BigBoxSportsCo"
in local suburban malls, and never see a snowflake until way after
they're bought, Super Demo Day is a genuine opportunity to
"Try Before You Buy".
Many BigBox retailers want you to believe that it's possible to purchase
appropriate gear without trying it. They have very convincing processes
that match gear with how you tell them you Ski or Board, but there's no
process on Earth that equals the experience of skiing different manufactures
products, one after another.
Super Demo Day gives you the benefit of that opportunity.
Here's a sample of the kinds of Skis you'll be able to demo
today, right from the foot of Johannsen, at the Resort Base
adjacent to the Gondola loading zone.
JF at the Solomon store, is shown below holding a pair of Solomon
high performance slalom skis. Like every single Ski brand rep we
know at Tremblant, his product knowledge is exceptional and
based on experience and use.

shown below as the Big Blue Skis with the very dramatic sidecut.
These skis are among the forefront of current designs featuring
a rocker, or reverse camber at the wide tip. The benefit to this
configuration is the ability of the ski to initiate turns very easily
as well as track through mixed or uneven surface irregularities
with more stability.

purposes, you'll find a wide selection of many major Ski
industry brands at Super Demo Day.
Item #2:
If you can't remember when you got your Skis/Board Tuned Up...
Do It Now....
We heard some complaints today about icy sectors, but when we asked,
the individuals couldn't remember when they'd had a tuneup, as in "Years Ago"
OMG!!! What are you thinking??? Ski/Board edge performance degrades
gradually with use and a tuneup every 10 to 15 days of Ski/Board use will
make you better on the slopes!!!
You'll have GRIP!!!
Located at the base loading zone of the Cabriolet, on the right hand
side, the Tremblant Ski/Board Service Repair Centre is located in the Chalet
des Voyageurs, and they have...
The Wintersteiger Discovery 3 Axis Automated Ski Tuner.

It is the best machine you can get, and is basically the Ski Tuners Ultimate
dream. Fully automated and programmed to deliver maximum dimensional
accuracy, every single time.

Base loading zone.
Todays weather etc.,... Sunny and Cool @ -16C to start.
The sun's energy will build heat up to around -8C, and
the wee overnight cold snap is going to make the Ski/Board
conditions overall excellent. There are some potential slick
zones, mostly on the the steepest of pitches. Those will vary
with traffic today, so use appropriate safety, care and control
before you rip around and WATCH OUT for others who may
not be as good at stoping as you are.
Other info. on today's conditions... Huge,
Really Big Tremblant News!!!
All kinds of work going on around the Mountain!!!

You won't believe this, but...
We were taking pic's to illustrate "Shred Depth" of the top layers
which have been getting thicker and thicker each passing day
as a result of daily Grooming efforts of Mountain Crews. So here
we were on Beauchemin focusing on the carved tracks you can see
below when this power carving Telemark Skier drove right through
the frame!
Phuzzy Photo Art ???... but we think it does make the point... SHRED THIS!!!

his shadow while his speed, carving angle and depth, not to mention
the intensity of his personal focus are very obvious, regardless
of the slow shutter speed that causes him to look blurred.
Camera settings were way off for his speed, right on to capture the
Snow conditions, so we think it's kind of a cool shot in a photo art
sense.
You'll find these fabulous carving conditions
all over the Mountain, so...
Turn off your computer right this second...
And Head To Tremblant Immediately!!!
