MERRY CHRISTMAS

Well everyone another Holiday Season is upon us. This is the current conditions. Now the videos on this report are from Yesterday.

About 11pm last night we got a funny inversion that sent the temps up to +4C 39F. This caused all the snow to warm up and we had some lite Rword. But then at about 4am a cold front came through with a quick freeze and heavy winds.

The south side of the mtn did not open until 11am. La Soleil was not open, and is supposed to be tomorrow. But to be honest stay on the groomed trails until we get snow on Saturday. The glades are very hard right now.

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.

Yes folks we are now open top to bottom on the North Side starting Saturday morning. Last year it was the weekend of the 24 Hour Grand Prix charity race before we had top to bottom on the North side. Duncan, Devils River, Beauchemin Bas will all be open tomorrow, and of course you know I will be the first one to get it all.

First thing today I met up with ski instructors Chris and June. Two of the best instructors here. Especially June. Man she can ski.

Now please be mindful that snow guns are going everywhere this early in the season.

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
