definition: Snow layers within the snowpack are a record of the winter’s weather. Like tree rings or strata of rock, layers can be traced to dates and conditions that formed them. One of the most important characteristics of a layer is its hardness. Harder snow is stronger and cohesive, while softer snow is weaker.
