Officials at Mont-Saint-Sauveur have announced that the ski resort in the Laurentian Mountains northwest of Montreal will reopen for skiing and snowboarding this Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Operations on Sunday and Monday will be weather dependent. Skiers visiting the mountain on Saturday will receive a free ticket for the resort’s Alpine Coaster, known as the Viking.

Ticket rates and lifts and trails to be open have yet to be announced.

This gives Saint-Sauveur, which opened on Nov. 20, 2010, the title of longest ski and ride season in the East for 2010-11. Seven East Coast ski areas made it to May 1. Sugarloaf in Maine called it quits on May 9th, while Jay Peak in Vermont kept things going through this past weekend. The latest Mont-Saint-Sauveur has operated was June 2nd, reached in 1997.
