Yeah the student duo deal is great. I'll be there the first day St-Sau open (later this week?) to buy my pass and hit the small step and rails they always put early in the season before the park's ready.
I'd say this saturday. The weather is cold these days in the Laurentides. I live 30 min. from St-Sau and it's raining right now, my friend lives 15 min. and he tell me it's snowing..!
Anyway, snowing or not, if the temperature stay around 0, be sure St-Sau is open. They are so upset about being the moutain with the longer season in Quebec.
