Tremblant Snow/Ski Video Reports

OK. Pay attention please. We are in a “Snow Emergency”, so please stay off of the roads. Hwy 15 coming from Montreal is at a stand still as of 5pm between Blaineville and Saint Sauver. There is heavy blowing snow on Hwy 15 in the mtns inbetween St Adele and St Agathe so be very careful in that corridor.

Now today the Gondola was run on slow, TGV, La Soleil, and Flying mile chairs were closed. All because of high winds. The best snow of course was on the North Side and will be tomorrow too. The wind is blowing strait down the south side trails and those might be a bit chauky tomorrow. Oh and the snow isn’t supposed to stop untill late tomorrow either.

DON’T FORGET LIVE CONDITIONS REPORT ON WWW.TREMBLANT-INSIDER.COM beginning tomorrow morning at 7:15am covering everything from how much snow we got, hwy conditions, to what bars have specials that night.

And remember to drink plenty of water tomorrow, and beginners take your time in this deep snow.

You know there are some days in your life where you get the special opportunity to witness something special. Today I ran into Chris Holden. Chris is the “National Adaptive Developement” adaptive water ski, and snow ski disabled sit ski instructor. I was amazed at this mans ability and joy today.

You can find more information about the “Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing” @ www.cads-ncd.ca

Now we had extremely high winds this morning. Yes the gondola was open but they told everyone up front it would be a one hour ride to the top. So ITW staff bused everyone to the North side. The Duncan, Expo, Edge, and Lowell Thomas chairs ran throughout the day. The Duncan never really got past slow however.

Now even with it snowing as hard as it was, the winds made the top of the mountain a complete whiteout, with scetchy conditions untill you got below the wind. So the Edge was the place to be today and we tore it up.

With a minimum 3-night stay, for just $50* extra, you get 2 days of skiing, 3 lunches and 3 breakfasts. Hurry up! You must book by February 19, 2009.

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.

Well the mtn got another inch of fluffy snow this morning, and we had snow squalls throughout the day. Snowmaking is blowing snow on Zig Zag and Vertige. The were running the La Soleil chair to get that ready to be open this weekend. That is correct. All of the Expo trails were groomed. So were the Soleil trails. Those areas will be open this weekend according to the information I have recieved.

And the cats have had 3 days to work on the trails since the Rword on Monday to help with the extra 9″ of snow we got in some spots on the mtn

Now we are going to get more snow this weekend and throughout the week. Snowmaking is going like crazy all over the mountain.

Picture taken at the Edge 3pm

Man I get to the mtn and they dropped the ropes on trails everywhere. ITW said: “Hey gang go get some” and oh boy did we ever. Frankly there was still untracked left at the end of the day. My meter sticks said we got 18″ out of this storm. Felt more like 3 feet to me.

Here are some videos and pictures. I took a ton of videos and will be adding more later. But for now enjoy these.

Finally got to the Edge after hiking a bit

OK I’m sore. I need to rest to do all this again tomorrow for you all

Looking out from Vertige down on the valley. Just so beautiful it is here, and the conditions are killer. You all should be skiing here. Yeeeeee haaaaa

Well the conditions are just amazing. The bit of Rword that we got yesterday is a thing of the past with the 2-3″ of fresh snow that fell over night and snow showers all day long. The snow guns are starting back up. And it looks like Taschereau might open tomorrow late in the day. Grand Prix has some rocks on skiers left at the bottom face.

I ran into Jilly, Rene, and a friend. We went down Beachemin and the snow is so soft. It was foggy up top all day long but the snow was serious ego snow. Just put your edge in and turn baby turn. Yeeee Haaaa
