The storm in tremblant was a disaster. Snowed all afternoon yesterday and all sunday night, but turned to freezing rain around 4am, and destroyed the mountain. Unskiable crust.

There is a ton of snow on that mountain. They will have a great spring.

That's a heartbreaker.

they got more snow yesterday, they'll be ok

I believe he was referring to the heartbreak felt by yours truly who drove to tremblant, skied a half day, grabbed a room, woke to un-skiable conditions and drove 8 hours home. Oh well. Still have a late march trip, though conditions look sketch at Sugarloaf. There's always next year.

But you are right - the mountain will be fine - tons of snow up there.

Did you not read the Sutton snow report? 1cm of snow. And they got rain with it.

Looks like people are tracking through plenty of fresh snow on both summit and base webcams. Snow report was posted at 5:00am. Jay is posting totals from early this AM as well. Sutton got a nice resurface with a tiny spurt of rain to start, Jay got barely any rain and most likely 5-6" when all is said and done. Packed powder / variable / machine groomed by the weekend.

Sorry to burst your bubble chief. Check the reports later once they get back on their computers after a great day of skiing.

I admire your optimism, even if what you see on the webcams is very different than I am seeing.

From todays conditions report at Sutton:

Surface :packed, granular, mogul, firm, variable, windblown
Base :firm, icy, hard

Even if that wasn't a 5:00am report I'm wondering if that's supposed to be bad news or something. I ski anything but glare ice with a smile.

Look at the webcams, people are skiing the soft n' fresh up there right now.

Seems like Wildcat somehow dodged rain altogether. After 8" overnight it's snowing here this afternoon. So nice to see.

Tremblant reported 13" overnight. I didn't see anything about a rain switch that far north and west

Sutton webcams look like they've got a decent continuing snow fall as of 4:00PM today, last photo taken. Curious to see what their snowfall totals amount to whenever they get around to updating it.
