Sommet Saint-Sauveur and Killington start their snowmaking

[Shane]

Sommet Saint-Sauveur and Killington have both started their snowmaking. See story on the front page of SlopeEdge.

Always in a race to be the first to open, the recent cold weather has given mountains an early boost.

What are your predictions?

Between the two of them I would like to see St-So open first but if I were a "betting man" I would go with Killington. It looks a little warm spell coming up again, but with Killington's elevation, this would work to their advantage.

I agree.

I say Killington opens around Halloween, and Saint-Sauveur 2nd week of November. The weather has been cool but it isn't going to last for the moment.

Ski Saint-Bruno is also another who is quick to open, same for Camp Fortune (both in past years have held the 2nd place honors a couple times).
