They are the old C1 105mm howitzers. 1 RCHA Shilo have a couple of the old, unmodified ones (most were changed up to C3 status) just for that purpose.
Not sure if they still have them, but a couple years ago, parks Canada also had all the remaining 106mm recoiless ammo which they would use to also help bring down the snow.
The guys always loved being on the avcon det. Apparently, it is quite a good go, being paid to hang around a ski chalet all day.
