Replying to Increased # of freeskiers (at my local hill)

Literally, there are now 2x the amount there were last year. Used to be just me, my bro + my 2 friends, local pro kirbstopper and another dude whose name I don't remember(I wanna say Matt..). Now there's at least 12 on the hill at any point. Sure that's not a lot but it's the freaking prairies, and more freeskiers is always nice to see as opposed to a hill swarming with snowboarders.

Has anyone else witnessed this growth at their hill?
