Tremblant Photos

	The sun shines through the clouds over Lac Tremblant.
Another view of Lac Tremblant
	Tom Burt poses in front of the view.
Jenny Grace makes her way through the powder. Mother Nature blessed us with almost a foot of snow for our last full day of skiing. Not quite first tracks, but pretty close!
	Janet Fredricks showing just how light and fluffy that powder is!
Jenny is shin deep... Of course she is a little short. Must take after her mother.
	Bud shows us all how it's done. The rest of the group follows.
Don Fredrickson makes his way down this first of many powder runs.
	Don, Brandon Grace and Tom Burt head to "The Edge" to catch the first chair and untracked powder. You can see here that the lift hasn't opened yet. Lifties clean off the chairs. The Edge is an ungroomed section of the mountain that features spectacular trees and bumps.
The only track in "The Edge." First tracks are always granted to ski patrol, who do safety checks before everyone else.
	Don, Brandon and Tom accompany another skier on the first chair up The Edge. Tom follows the other skier down and leaves behind these figure eights. Unfortunately, by the time I got back to the lift to take this picture, several other people had left tracks on the trail.
Don cruises down "Action." I'm able to catch this photo from the lift above.
	Ahhh... the bumps. These were some of the best bumps I have ever experienced. 6 or 7 consecutive runs through these and my legs were BURNING! Oh yeah, don't mess up because they're right under the lift.
This double diamond glade run came off the back of The Edge and combined Tremblant's best bumps, trees and steeps all in one trail! Thin cover kept it closed until our last day. I wish I had gone back to do it again.
	"Vertege" - a double diamond down the front of the mountain. This trail was also closed for most of the week due to thin cover. It's steeper than it looks, but isn't any worse than some of the New England steeps like the "Front Four" or "White Heat."
Some green trails on the lower part of the South face. The village is directly behind us.
	The South Face and Summit of Mont Tremblant. The North Face drops off the back and all trails conveniently merge at the summit (for the most part).
Sharon works the trees at The Edge. Nice helmet!
	Tom Burt hits a jump on his way out of the glades.
Patrick Shaw sees Tom and immediately wants a lesson. Here he is on the same jump. Nice job Patrick!
	The village
Bud, Pat, Don and Tom sign up for "Fresh Tracks" on our very first day at Tremblant. We paid a little extra, but were the first ones on the Telecabine (gondola). At the summit, we were treated to a huge breakfast, French Canadian style. We even got a couple runs in before the lifts opened to the public. Here, the staff waits to serve us.
	Janet, Sharon, Tom, Brandon and Kathy pose in front of the mysterious sign. We think it was offering translations of some typical trail conditions, but aren't quite sure.
Kayla enjoys the great Canadian skiing.
	Click on this picture to blow it up and look for the brown blob in the tree. You can't tell what it is so you'll have to take my word for it. The blob is a porcupine that resides in the trees adjacent to one of the lifts. He had stripped most of the bark off several trees.
It seems like we were always hanging around. Why does that always seem to happen when you're skiing with a group? Here, Jenny, Janet, Don and Sharon wait for everyone else.
	Jenny - must be a different day from above. She's wearing a different parka.
Sharon watches someone approach. I don't recall who that is. Sorry!
	Lucy makes her way down in excellent form.
Tom attempts the group shot on the lift. Not very good.
	Brandon, Sharon and Don - the lifts were a little slow at times.
Sharon in the trees, again. Did you ski anywhere else Sharon?
	Jenny in the trees. Anyone see a pattern here?
Lucy leaves The Edge for some different terrain.
	There she goes on her way down Escapade.
There was enough snow during the week to warrant shoveling off the roof. Glad it's not me.
	Looking up at the summit from a lower peak.
Don admires the view.
	One of the other local ski areas. There were several visible from Mont Tremblant.
The sun breaks through the clouds and lights up some of the lower trails.
	Now it's Sharon's turn to admire the view.
Visible in the distance is another of the region's ski areas.
	Looking up to towards the summit.
I'm not sure why, but this area under the lift had more snow than anywhere else on the mountain. It's not a trail, so no need for man-made snow here. The snow was deep enough that your skis grazed the surface from the chairlift.
