Mont Saint-Sauveur will be closed this week. We wish that Mother Nture will wear her nicest suit for next weekend by sending us lots of sunshine. If conditions permit, we will be open on May 10 & 11.
Late season prices: $30/4hr – $35 full day
Picture from MSS May 6th.
Mont St-Sauveur is still alive AND will reopen this weekend, May 10-11.
The ski area is probably every close to having the longest season in the East this season.
So here are the closing dates of the last areas …
Jay Peak VT: May 4
Sugarbush VT: May 4
Sugarloaf ME: May 5
Mont St-Sauveur QC: May 11

I believe that Anthony mentioned something about MSS last week. 😉
Note that I didn’t ski Mont St-Sauveur for a few seasons, there is a reason for that. Although it’s good to have a local option for late season skiing close to Montreal, I’ve generally opted for the longer trips. It would also be good if Tremblant went for the last season market.
Even when in I lived in Montreal, I preferred heading driving 180miles to Kmart for my May skiing than only driving 30 miles North to MSS. But that is just me. 😛 I know someone that writes on this forum that drove from Albany (or wherever) to ski a WROD at MSS on opening day in November a few years back. (see I can abuse His Editorship also) 😆
As for me, I’m sick at home plus our weekend is entirely booked with birthday, end of the year concert plus I’m seeing QOTSA on Sunday night.
Mont St-Sauveur mentioned that this might not be their last weekend and might also open next weekend also, May 17-18.
Imagine if a few of the big guns in Quebec would just let the lifts run until the snow is gone. Although Mont St-Sauveur is a big gun on a small hill, imagine if Tremblant and Mont Ste-Anne would do the same thing, because if MSS has enough snow n Hill 70, there is enough snow on Tremblant and MSA’s North sides. 🙄
Wishful thinking…
Jay Peak VT: May 4
Sugarbush VT: May 4
Sugarloaf ME: May 5
Mont St-Sauveur QC: May 17-18, if possible.
IT’S OVER – LIFT SERVED SKIING IN THE EAST ENDED YESTERDAY.

After having talked about re-opening next weekend, the staff at MSSI probably looked at the numbers and decided to pull the plug instead of hoping to open their lift next weekend.
Here are two TRs (in French) from Zoneski with a series of pictures from those two days. Definitely still some snow left to maybe run the lift next weekend. Although I’m not a big fan of MSS, I have to say Kudos for making the season run longer than their big competition in the Laurentians and Quebec.
