Hard to top the ambiance though

I'm staying in this little ski village in Quebec not only do they have snowmaking on the mountain, but they have it down in the village as well. I've been in other ski towns where they shovel the snow when it falls instead. I guess there's always more than one approach and it does look nice, but I think it's actually snowing out and I can't be sure, which is unsettling.

Update: People actually ski through town. I guess that's why there's snowmaking.
