snow that’s been stepped on so much it’s basically a snow pancake. you can’t blow it up, and it doesn’t care about your feelings.

This packed powder was like a grumpy old man who doesn’t want to be bothered.

I tried to ski on packed powder and it just laughed at me.

The packed powder was so hard, I thought I was skiing on concrete.
