Not technically. You can make snow at around 38 degrees F, that's around maybe 2-3 C if the humidity is right. But if they lay down a huge base during the winter it wont matter. But good to see a resort do this. I remember when Killington would always extend there season into June. I think I remember it being open till around july 4th one year.

Click for larger imageSaint-Sauveur, October 23rd 2008 - Snow lovers be ready, the ski season is about to begin. During the last night, Mont Saint-Sauveur’s new snowmaking system already started to blow in order to prepare the mountain for the new ski season.

We take every cold temperature opportunity Mother Nature brings us. Be sure that when temperatures will reach -2 degrees, snow guns will be turned on and we will be able to cover one trail per 24 hours. The Jay trail is already covered by a beautiful white carpet of snow.

The 2008-2009 ski season reserve many surprises!

Mont Saint-Sauveur has been holding the status of the first ski station to open in Quebec for several years."

Not to be a pessimist, but this will increase the lift ticket costs because of the increase in water usage.

this is avila, they don't bother looking at them half the time. Unless you look like a total gaper, but the guys that work the chairs know most of the park regulars so they might ask you to show it to them the first run but not even...
