Don't you think the more they groom the snow will deteriorate faster?

I'm not an expert by any means but it would increase depth of snow by filling in troughs of moguls. Input..Anyone. Anyone..Bueller..Bueller!!!

I'd think they would groom it out. With no skiers for a few days they could groom it and it will not bump back up. Less surface area less melting. Also, I agree grooming in the cold weather they would not loose as much snow. But, Im not an expert either.

No. Don't groom or farm the runout at least. The ground is quite warm, and 3 nights of sub-freezing temperatures won't change that. Any snow that touches the ground will melt.
Snowmaking? That's as likely as Superstar making it to August.
