The nature of slick, steep snow runs

Snow grooming is nice and allows skiers who don't like bumpy terrain, don't have good knees and still want to enjoy a day on the snow, to have a great time.

The problem is that on steeper slopes, ski edges can bite as much and tend to slip away from the now surface. By so doing they both “polish” and further compact the snow surface, making it slicker and harder. This means that as a ski day goes on conditions get worse.

Nothing that can be done except finding a structuring tool that could be part of the snow groomer and would make the steep slope “grabbier” but far less enjoyable for the first users of the day...
