Quebec skiers are tough, we all know that. And sometimes the ski conditions reward the foolhardy who brave the cold. But on this day, at -30 C in the morning, the only redeeming features were the beautiful sunshine and the thrill of the challenge. Tremblant has done well to preserve as much snow as possible after the recent heat wave and rains. There were no rocks that we could see and the groomers have been busy to spread the little bit of soft snow across the ice.
We started on Versant Nord but the better runs were on the Versant Sud and Versant Soleil. Not surprisingly, there were not a lot of people (for Tremblant), so riding the gondola was possible without losing too much time in the line up.
My favorite run of the day was Bière-En-Bas (the beer is at the bottom) which had a bitter start, good amount of head and a smooth fruity finish… Plus it lead directly to the chalet where we could stop in after a few runs to warm the feet and prepare for the next run.
