Snow Search at Tremblant: Report

[skicdave]

Here are highlights from my snow search at Mont Tremblant. Originally I was supposed to go for one day, but my trip was extended to 2 days after I heard a rumour that there was indeed snow. Here are photo highlights... enjoy if possible.

People caught speeding down the mountain iceway... too bad, $100 fine plus 2% Intrawest tax. Ice yes... snow no.

Well thats it... I'm sorry to report there is no snow at Mont Tremblant. They will however sell you a lift ticket just the same!

Dave, you could possibly have seen snow, going in Ste-Agathe, ±25 miles south of Tremblant. There is a snow reservoir that usually keep its snow very late in summer. I don't know where it is exactly in the city, but it's just beside the linear parc of the Laurentians. I've seen it with still a good depth in july few years ago. Should have bring my skis !

Dave,
looks like you had fun, but I'm not sure you were looking hard enough for the snow!
