We also got a couple of inches of fresh snow after the rain. All in all they trails seem to still be in good condition. I will update this tomorrow as soon as I know more. He is trying to not groom until tomorow to give the water/ really wet snow a chance to freeze up good as he could do more damage than good when the snow is to wet.
