Tommy D Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Bonjour! I'm on my way up to Tremblant tomorrow. How are the trail conditions up there, or at the areas along the way? Should I be prepared for rocks, or is there a good base? Merci! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoarderYUL Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 The last report i had concerning Tremblant was last thursday. Conditions were only ok, pretty icy but we got some snow yesterday and expecting some tomorrow (Jan 1st) so it should be better. The only problem: crowd, crowd crowd !!!!! Go look on Tremblant's wecams (www.tremblant.com) and you'll notice the huge line-ups. So much people on the slopes that is makes them super icy. One of my colleagues is also instructor over there and she told me it is difficult to enjoy because of the crowds... I don't know what would be the best pick... Maybe Mont-Blanc to avoid the crowds ?

Ernie00 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 We are also expecting some Icy rain in the next days. I'm not sure about tremblant since it's up north more but st sauveur should get hit with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartron Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 The high temps for the next few days will be above freezing too. 'later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoarderYUL Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Little update for those of you who didn't get the chance to go up North... Difficile pour moi de dire quelles étaient les conditions sur les pistes. Je n'avais pas ma planche mais je suis allé me promener dans le bas des pistes à St-Donat... voici donc: La Réserve: Probablement un gros 3 pistes ouvertes.... ca semblait granuleux, mais tout de même sur fond mou. Consolation: même pas 50 chars dans le stationnement......pas un chat dans les chaises ! Garceau: Plus occupé, mais encore là, les gens ne se garochaient pas aux portes. Honnêtement, bcp de brindilles sur la majorité des pistes... Tough luck, y'annonce encore de la pluie dans les prochains jours !!!! Un peu plus et la saison est terminée avant même de réellement commencer. Quelqu'un a un update de St-Sau, Tremblant, Mont Blanc ? Je ronge mon frein juste à penser que j'ai pas encore enfilé mes bottes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartron Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 C'est pour ca que je vais dans l'ouest cette annee. :) Je pourrai enfin essayer ma nouvelle WCR 175, qui a deja 1.5 ans et toujours jamais utilisee. 'later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoarderYUL Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Ouais j'étais sensé y aller durant les Fetes et finalement, je devais travailler. J'y serai en mai prochain, mais ce sera malheureusement trop tard..... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Je reviens de St-sauveur ce soir et c'est assez terrible. Habituellement je trouve toujours 1-2 bonnes lignes dans certaines pistes mais ce soir .. Rien Nada... De la belle glace ou des bosses molles en gros sel. Et ça va empirer dans les prochaines journées. Je me demande si bromont va ouvrir ce weekend pour faire de la descente en Moutain bike. On devrait s'acheter un condo dans l'ouest à la gang ! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy D Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks for the info, folks! The crowds weren't too bad; the big crowd week was over by the time I got there. Tuesday was ICY. Temps rose on Wed and Thursday and the snow/ice softened up. The skiing was actually rather nice on Thursday, but springlike in the afternoon. All the good stuff was on the trail-edge, with boilerplate in the middle on many trails. Alas, I didn't pull out my freecarve, but I did see a few folks there: A couple on Priors, one guy on a Volkl RennTiger (Part of the race team??) and a few other random sightings.
