If you have any interest in skiing good snow this year go to the Tremblant area right now. Granted, this storm may mess things up a bit but there is a LOT of snow.

Net gain. Then rain. But models have them picking up another 8" or 10" a few days after that. Rich get richer.

Le Massif snow report says 26cm and some rain/icing...then they go on to hint you may want to only ski where the groomers have had a chance to work.

Tremblant sounds similar with 10cm snow and rain, also mentioning a grooming strategy.

The only escape from this crappy so called winter seems to be the airport.

Today is going to be hard on Le Massif, calling for heavy rain, they might get a rain snow mix.

This weekend may be redeeming though, they are calling for snow on Saturday for the Quebec City region.

My town is getting hammered with rain today and we have no significant snow in the forecast, our hill is going to be in rough shape. We faired ok after the rain last week, but I don't think the non snow making trails will survive two weeks in a row.

Both Jay and Tremblant are affected by Quebec vacation week.
