The snow is likely too soft to get any real benefit from groomer use, and if anything can rapidly accelerate the snow loss with tiller use. Likely trying to preserve what snowpack they have up at the top for when the colder air filters back in mid week.
There are times when unless you're on the hill in soft condtions and have seen the "damage" a cat can do as the tracks at times can often just create fairly sizeable "pot holes" that the tiller can't smooth out, it can be really tough to appreciate how leaving some trails closed until you get for favorable temps for working the snow around, is the right call from an ops standpoint to make
Im at cannon now but patterns over the winter were more favorable and they just plain blow more snow. Make no mistake though the snowpack is getting nuked here as well. The freeze up is gonna be rough hopefully it comes with some of that dense march snow

I don't think natural trails are going to survive at most mountains after today honestly, regardless of location (or in regards to this thread - ownership). Lots of damage to manmade trails also.

I just happened upon the ski report on the local NH news. Everywhere they mentioned is doing just fine with most terrain available. Then, they bring up Wildcat with only 7 trails open, in an incredulous voice. Wildcat should be ashamed. Fix it Vail lol 
They‘ve thrown in the towel. Att is definitely in better shape.I just happened upon the ski report on the local NH news. Everywhere they mentioned is doing just fine with most terrain available.

But nothing compares to the rejuvenated Black.
