Periodic Table Of Snow

[JWMN]

I saw this story in the Steamboat paper this morning. A pretty cool idea and product for the diehard skier! https://www.steamboatpilot.com/news...-displays-the-unique-side-of-winter-language/
Here is the link to the makers website: https://www.rsdesign.group/periodic-table-of-snow/

Ha love this! My background is in Chemistry so I find this idea a great crossover for my skiing passion.

 

[Wendy]

I love it too!

I would've bought that in a heartbeat and mounted it on my classroom wall if I were still teaching high school chemistry!

Bah. I understand not wanting to give away the store, but give us at least a sample that we can read. "Trust us. It's witty."

This thing came up in my Instagram feed and I was thinking of getting one. I figured there must be a list somewhere online of snow definitions. I‘m more curious in the definitions than the format.

This is the table I use

I was thinking about getting a shirt, but I don't know if I can wear it around with the "Untracted Powder" square on it. Not a word. Let me know if I'm just uncultured.

"Untracted"

 

[Uncle-A]

With all the varieties of snow and ice I am surprised they only have four good types and four bad types.

Given the number of four-letter words some people have for snow, I agree.

Look at the actual poster, not just the t-shirt, there's over 100:

I did buy the poster. It's pretty good, learned some new ones, but they definitely repeat a few and stretch the definition of some.

Untracted powder is better than pacted powder

Is there a square in that periodic table for glare ice with groomer cat track indentations- because I skied that at Loon one day last year.

I think you mean what I've seen refered as cordurice on the forum here a couple times. No, that's about the only term I could think of that's not on there.

 

[Seahaven]

Cordurice is brilliant! Love it.

I skied that repeatedly for the last five days at Killington. Left before the storm.

How about Ice-duroy?
