One of the big differences at my home mountain, Massanutten in northern VA, in the past decade was the addition of automated snow guns. With the increased need for making use of small windows of time for snowmaking that can last only a few hours, automation is increasingly important. Issues with staffing this winter may also be a factor for ski areas without any automated snow guns.
Does your home mountain or favorite resort have automated snowmaking? If so, do you have any idea when the change started? Automation can be retrofitted to some snow guns.
For more about snowmaking, I've put notes in this thread for a few years:
