Heading up to Tremblant this weekend (McGill Ski/Snowboard club first trip) and was wondering if anyone had any info on what Tremblant is looking like right now?

Snow has been shit recently, their website says that there are barely any trees open and that edge lift is spinning but no trees.
Anyone know what they have open in the North / South park?
What's the going rate for a parkpass this year?
Thanks !

I went there on Sunday. I think there is not enough snow to make a nice park yet. The north-side park is open. There is 3 little jumps and 2-3 rails/box. Nothing exciting.

i will be there this weekend too, the south park will not be open, there is a small prk on alpine, but not worth going to, and then the north park, it has 3 jumps in a line, and also a jib line with maybe 6 features.

^ This is exactly what will be seen in the North park plus 2 smaller jumps at the top. Then the Alpine park that is all really small stuff.

Pakenham's just as god as tremblant atm, lmao

They got a nice big up and over, a booter/step down, two hand rails, a PVC jump, a PVC on a spine, and a DFD box setup.

Sadly I don't think Tremblant is that much farther ahead than this... ; (

I was there yesterday. The snow suprisingly wasnt all too bad on the southside. I was crusing groomers at the start of they day and i didnt hit any ice. Edge actually did open the two tree runs that run along side their main run. None of the  blacks or doubles though. It was pretty icy but not all that bad IMO

as for the park in the southside you have some tiny little jump thing, a flat rail and flat box, then a butter box and an up box then a small kicker.

The northside has a good 5 jumps, two small then the other 3 are the ones A.eberhard posted. The rail section was alittle dissapointing. You have a battle ship and a big ledge box (steup on ) followed by a double barrel rail and something else and then two different log box's....if memory serves me correctly

hahaha Pakenham.... If you are looking for worlds slowest lift and poorly set-up features with hard landings then that is where you want to go.

Great, thanks for all the information - seems like its a pretty similar setup to last year right now.

Hope this snow keeps going and picks up in time for a good weekend - Jay just got a foot out of this!!

ya pakenham must be pretty bad, i mean they have a lot set up but none of their features are nice, they are al short and never set up well, also with the warm temps last week and knowing packenham, its the hardest shit youve ever skied.
