NEWRY, Maine (WABI) - It may be the last weekend of summer, but snow lovers are looking ahead to Winter.

Believe it or not, snowguns are already being tested at Sunday River in Newry.

The ski resort says the testing took place on North Peak’s Lower Downdraft trail.

It’s an annual milestone as they head to the winter skiing season.

While an official opening date has yet to be determined, Sunday River says it will be ready to go as soon as overnight temperatures drop to between 25 to 30 degrees.

Last year, the resort opened the second week of November.
