Snowshoe is enjoying one of the best winters in its history, thanks to heavy natural snowfall and excellent snowmaking temperatures.

The resort recently opened its final slope, Lower Shay's, a double black diamond - the first time since 2006-07 that Lower Shay's has been open.

It's also the first season in the last four winters that the halfpipe has been open.

Both are a sign of just how good this winter is, thanks to great snowmaking conditions and natural snowfall of more than 11 feet.
