How do you describe footprints in the snow?

Answer 1

If you've never seen footprints in the snow, you need to study some photographs or go somewhere and make some prints of your own. Snow usually has a hard crust on the top that you crunch through, and then it's very soft so the footprint spreads out underneath that. You generally see a vaguely foot-shaped hole if the snow is deep. If the snow is very hard or very shallow, you can see a more foot-shaped print.
