Many providers of ski preparation data draw a line between tracks groomed by wikipedia:snowmobile, and larger wikipedia:snow grooming vehicles that produce cross-country ski-trails conforming to FIS standards (reference needed).
Discussion issue:
There may be a need for a tag to specify the gap between the skis in a classic nordic ski track (NOR: sporlegger/sporbredde), such as (piste:grooming:trackwidth=15/17/22/adjustable [cm].
Background for this: Skiforeningen, the Norwegian (Oslo-area) grooming organization are starting experimentation on user preferences.
At Sjusjøen, they are also conducting experiments, and will build a groomer that can set different widths uphill and downhill.
