They use trucks with a shovel to remove excess snow from the tracks.
And yes, they do ask the LRV operators to carry a shovel and broom on board, and they get out and shovel off the switches when they go by!
On that note, I noticed that they've "black bagged" the aspects (signals) at the Cameron crossover (and I presume they've done the same at the Green crossover). My guess? It's a legal thing, just like when they bag a stoplight, if the signal can't be trusted to indicate a valid state.
