Ever-so-briefly, there was even Sun on the Summit.
More later as time permits below in "Reply",
including up to the hour weather info for weekend
regional planners, hopefully before midnight...

We can tell you you should be here...
We can tell you all about the superb surfaces...
We can tell you how beautiful it is here now....
But if you're a regular reader, you already know these things
and we probably don't need to do much more than let the
pic's do the talking to keep you informed on the day to day
trends, nuances and the sense of welcome that awaits your arrival.

yesterday where we talk about the Snow squall activity around
Tremblant's slopes. If you use the "Previous Topic" button located
on the upper right hand side of the title bar for this topic on this screen(scroll >, then/\)
you can go back to it to see the comparisons between the
swirling snow of the same two people and you will see that the
amount of snow flying around, moment to moment, obscures the
photography by degrees, and is obviously different.
This is what happens with the snow when the wind velocities exceed
certain values, which very loosely speaking, and on a non-scientific,
anecdotal basis, we'd say is right around 20 KMPH.
Below roughly 20 KMPH, the snow tends to fall in a more predictable
settled way that gets laid down in a vertical stack.
Above roughly 20 KMPH, the snow begins to swirl as it's driven over
contours and it can be deposited in all manner of directions including
horizontally generated drifting.
That's were we're going to have some little "Surprises" this morning.
Below:
Speaking of "Surprises", as we were passing through the North Park
on the way to Rigodon, quite unexpectedly, we managed to click off
this not-to-bad snap shot off the last feature of the upper Rope Tow
(Trail # 68) feature line. The size of the jumps have been reduced
here, perhaps for safety reasons, but non-the-less, you can plainly see
that you can still get tons of height off this one. We really like the
feeling of "Space Travel" that the far distant background creates
with these Near-Summit vantage points.

showed that a spontaneous Zig-Zag was in order due to the
picturesque ambience of the lower, Lowell Thomas to Duncan
Cat Track, so we headed in that direction where one of our
favourite scenes was breathtaking in it's full colour, black and white
splendour of heavily snow weighted tree boughs.

not been through this sector of some of one of Tremblant's most beautiful
areas, we promise to show it to you for real, if you ever so desired.
Do People Ever Get Tired Of Looking At
The Mona Lisa ... ? .... no.
For sort-of the same reasons, we never get tired of the unique
artistic shapes of Mother Natures handiwork at Tremblant.

Maybe up to +2C this aft. under supposed to be sunny sky's(not yet),
and we'll be happy if the sun stays covered because who needs solar
energy when we want winter, but that aside, this temp forecast is for
South Base levels, so the Summit and the North should stay Sub-zero.
We'll talk a lot more about the weather in Apres Ski.
Conditions: Excellent with a slight hint of warm, but not nearly
enough warm to do any harm.
Waxing or coating Ski/Board bases with "Warm" range will enhance speed.
