Not saying they couldn't farm up the snow. But they need several people and several times a day.

Could def get by with a morning, mid day, clising rake. But they would need a few people and a decent salt regime to keep it riding.


Depends on how many features but without a mid day rake and salt it'd be almost unrideable. Especially if it's getting lapped hard.

You need to salt in the morning after raking. At summer temps the trail not just the take offs. And then salt with mid day. Also probably need to salt to some extent to groom as well if temps are going to be far above freezing. Otherwise it will be a bottomless slush put and takeoffs will blow a part not long into the day.

Salt freezes the surface of the snow so it rides more like snow where the temp drops overnight. So basicall a spring day where its sloppy at the end, gets groomed wet, and freezes and is kind brick in the morning. On a smaller scale. With high temps thos morning melt toward slush pretty fast.

Same with salt. If you don't salt it will go right to being soup city by like 10 or 11. And be pretty much unrideable after lunch.
