But First...
Looking at these two below... do you think it was a good day at Tremblant?

allow substantial extra transit time.
Plow's will be out, heavy snow always causes some drivers to
slow way down, some drivers take unnecessary risks with unsafe
passing, people underestimate the safe braking distance at the same
time they overestimate their driving skills... watch out!
Technically speaking, with the wind being forecast at slow speeds between
5 and 10 KMPH and from the East, We are predicting the possibility of the
Winter Snow Seasons first Orographic Snowfall at Tremblant under the
most beneficial conditions possible. A low wind speed means that falling
snow will not be blown off into the bush on the bigger, wider runs, and that
the Snow Storm's potential for yielding maximum snow accumulation on
all sides of the Summit with a slight bias toward the Beauvallon side of the
South, should not be unduly rushed or blown away entirely, as it might be with
a higher wind speed.
The warm, moist air coming all the way from Texas should ramp up into
the cooler air masses over Tremblant and we could very well get a significant
Orographic dump that would be quite a bit over the stat's predicted for Base
level accumulations.
The light wind also suggests that there may be some moderately interesting
Drifting features where the wind can deposit even more snow due to swirl
concentrations around physical ground features like leeward trail sides or
below the crests of the Mountains naturally rolling descents.
It should be noted that "We" and "They", could all be wrong.
All of Humanity knows "Weather Forecasting" is not a perfect Science.
Mother Nature may have unexpected things to say, without prior notice
and this whole episode could be different than anticipated... 'er, ..."Forecast".
Of Course... We're hoping for lot's, in which case...
Crews will likely try to have some groomed, but that could depend on
the amount of snow received. If there's a lot, conditions will favour
experts and confident intermediates.
Everyone needs to go slowly and in complete control, especially around
inexperienced new Skiers/Boarders.
That sums up what we're all expecting, but the Skiers and Boarders
that read any of this will be particularly excited as tomorrow holds
very good promise of being an excellent powder day.
Who knows, they may even be able to open some more runs
with all that snow!
Regardless, what is open, will be Super Snowy Supreme!
Below: Left: Lowell Thomas, Right, Rope Tow.
Crews have milled these runs flat and left them with the course
pattern of the cleats of their Tracks. The natural snow fall should bond
very well with this rough surface as it begins to fill up and over.
Basically, the new snow is going to have a lot to grip to.

Got shovels?

-------- 10:00 A.M. update -------------
MAJOR SNOWFALL WARNING FROM ENVIRONMENT CANADA.
The first major Snowstorm to hit the East Coast is scheduled
to pass Tremblant on Wed. Morning.
Detail to Follow. Plan Accordingly.
--------------------------------------------
8(*) Open Trails at Tremblant as "Alpine"(trail# 7), running
parallel to Beauvallon Haut(upper) has been added to the list.
If you are one of the few privileged individuals that can be at Tremblant
today, you will think you have the place pretty much to yourself and the
other members of your "Today" private club.
Fresh Snow, Fresh Grooming...
no lines AT ALL... Zoom... Zooom... Zooooom!

Our Suggestion... Make it a lapping day Boot Camp!
Burn Off Some Of Them Summer Beer Calories!
Same 3 basic descents with "Alpine"(trail # 7) added to the mix.
There's a good chance Alpine will have less hard-pack than the adjacent
portion of Beauvallon because it has not had the traffic and it has an
ever-so-slightly sheltered descent line with a more even pitch than
Beauvallon. That should make for some super-carve traction levels
there for at least a couple of days.
Lower Alpine looks like it's under construction too. Park features
are likely to be in this area soon.
We've had some battery malfunctions in the past day or so and hopefully
have that sorted out for better pic. results today. But... the bottom line is
that even with the limited views we can show you now, conditions on the
chosen few are very fine and you can get a TON of vertical and an absolute
total body workout as good as any other winter day, right now.

sort of neat in an artistic way, so here it is again to show the
fill-in on Rope Tow.
Todays weather: Light breezes and temps just a wee bit below freezing,
so super easy.
