• a support frame;
• an engine;
• a track mounted on one side of the support frame, said track coupled to and driven by the engine;
• a snow guard coupled to the support frame and arranged in a rear position of the snow grooming vehicle to surround a rear portion of the track by wrapping around at least one of a top of the rear portion of the track and a back of the rear portion of the track,
• a first plurality of bristles at a rear end of the track extending along a first axis, the first axis forming a first angle with a reference axis, the first angle being between 0° and 90°, and the reference axis being parallel to the ground and extending along the snow grooming vehicle, each bristle being a flexible bristle comprising a first end connected to and extending from the snow guard and a second end spaced apart from the snow guard, the first plurality of bristles arranged adjacent to the track, wherein when the track is moving, for at least one of the plurality of bristles, the first end of that bristle remains stationary relative to any movement of the snow grooming vehicle and the second end of that bristle intercepts snow collected on the track, and
• a snow tiller coupled to a rear of the support frame, wherein the first plurality of bristles are interposed between the track and the snow tiller and the first angle faces the snow tiller such that for a bristle of the first plurality of bristles, the first end of that bristle is a first distance away from the rear end of the track and the second end of that bristle is a second, greater distance away from the rear end of the track.
