Small world! I was skiing Hilton Falls 25 years ago too and I do remember the snow being significantly heavier back then.

We don't get out skiing much any more (3 kids!) so my technique has suffered somewhat. The only benefit is that I'm slower and don't kick up any snow at all so no, that wasn't an issue and gaiters weren't required. I should mention that I ski traditional style, not skating.
Hardwood Hills is a nice place to go. They've had lots of snow over the years and the trails are always freshly set. Yesterday was a great day to be outside though I think your chicken sporran may have frozen!
