One of the rarest types of snow flakes is shaped like a pyramid. Because this flake is so rarely seen, the basis of its formation is not clearly understood. Depending on the shape of the snowflakes and the amount of air space left between the flakes when they fall on top of each other, the snow has different consistencies. The type of snow that skiers like best is called powder snow. This type of snow is good for most snow sports.
Powder snow is usually dry or slightly moist.
Its density has to be less than 200 kilograms for every meter of snow. The density of something indicates how much it is compacted or condensed. Snow that is more densely packed, and where some of the snowflakes have been crushed and formed small amounts of ice, makes better snowballs. Determine the snow depth. This entry is needed as long as a trace amount is on the ground.
