Powder's the best. Wet snow can get real choppy! (I'm speaking from a rider's viewpoint)

It also depends on what you are trying to accomplish with a groom. There are many different implements that can be used behind and in front of a snowcat to achieve particular surface quality.

"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

There are multiple ways to groom. Some groomers have the actual power tiller that we all think about. Others have something as simple as a big roller or a rubber skirt that just packs the snow slightly and creates the "corduroy" that we all think about. Once you start messing with how that stuff works, you change a lot of things. For the FIS Mens races, they actually inject water into the snow to make it harder/icier.
