Tremblant’s Daily Honest Snow Report w/videos “BRRRRRRRRRRR”
Well I’m not going to lie to you it was very very very cold today. Windy too. La Soleil, Edge, and Expo were not open while I was skiing. Infact if you were smart you took many breaks. Before you ski tomorrow please do the follow.
1. Put sunscreen or hand lotion on hands and face. This will help protect against frost bite.
2. Cover all skin surfaces.
3. Put the ego away and get goggles. Eyes can get frostbite and cause blindness.
4. Where layers. DON’T WEAR SWEATSHIRTS. They get damp fast and will make you cold all day long.
5. Change your socks after the first 90 minutes of skiing. This is when you feet will sweat the most. Dry socks=warm toes. I put a pair in a zip lock baggy in my pocket each day.
6. Stay hydrated, and you will stay warmer.
7. Take plenty of breaks.
8. Don’t ask your children if they are cold. Just schedule breaks after every 2 runs.
Now McCulloch was closed for racing today. Alpine for training as well. Should be open tomorrow. I do not recommend doing first tracks tomorrow because it will be -24C or -4F. Wait until around 10am when the sun hits all of the slopes.
Now ITW is starting a bunch of afternoon/night family activities during Christmas. Should be a good time.
Enjoy todays videos.
