Also a term used for a certain
Snow condition.
For example:
There is a
snowstorm on sunday night that drops 14" of snow
Monday stays very
cold, allowing snow to stay
light
Monday night brings slightly warmer
temperatures, causing 2 inches of heavy
sleet-like snow to fall.
Now, on tuesday, temperatures drop again, causing the wetter snow on top to become
frozen over, like a
crust.
Tuesday afternoon rolls around, and you find a patch of
hill in the
woods that is
untracked. While riding down, the snow breaks into large
chunks, while allowing the
nose to
submarine into the softer, underlying snow.
