Ok, I was there but a nasty cold kept me off the slopes til Sunday. The 'shoe did a great job prepping the trails with abundant coverage. The decisions to delay opening from Wed to Fri and open with 3 top-to-bottom runs (instead of 2) really helped keep the snow quality & coverage. The crowds were non-existent each day by all reports. Sunday I skied up to the chairs...max wait was 3 deep. A friend met me for rope drop, early laps and practicing his videography skills.
Fortunately the temps cooperated Sat eve to allow snowmaking and grooming for a fresh carpet....
You can see snowmaking on closed trails in the background here
The progression terrain park was one of the 3 runs open....with features (I think that's what they call those contraptions). Made for fun cruising and the low traffic was good for practicing video shots.

Snowshoe has said they are testing new snow guns for a large upgrade next season. I noticed several new guns mounted in close proximity to each-other on upper Heisler Way. Could be a comparative test.
New Guns?
