Just wondering what good places in which you can summer ski on the canadian or US east coast. Just wondering if there was any good glacier skiing camps/slopes. Thanks.

You guys are wrong...
There is this ski camp in july at Avila (near montreal).
Looks super sick for an east coast summer ski camp.
They transport the snow with trucks, groom it down.
They set up a few rails and jumps. The camp has coaches too.
Isn't it awesome?

check out this website, there is pics and vids. (If you don't understand french pm me and I'll try to answer your questions.

I have been waiting forever for Xanadu to open in the meadowlands in new jersey. Its going to be a giant  mall with an indoor ski slope. It looks sick as hell but keeps getting delayed for opening.

This vid has a few clips of it in the beginning

Thanks yeah I think the one in Montreal is doable for me. Early or late summer skiing is hard to come by but I think that looks really promising.
