In this episode we're gonna talk a little more science than normal and go into a discussion of what is snow? Hint: it's a lot more complicated than you think! After we get through the science heavy portion, we take a trip down into the pits to examine the anatomy of a snow pit and talk about some of the tests we run in them!
