Product Description
Anthropologist Franz Boas didn’t mean to spark a century-long argument. Traveling through the icy wastes of Baffin Island in northern Canada during the 1880s, Boas simply wanted to study the life of the local Inuit people, joining their sleigh rides, trading caribou skins and learning their folklore. He was particularly intrigued by their language, noting the elaborate terms used to describe the frozen landscape: “aqilokoq” for “softly falling snow” and “piegnartoq” for “the snow [that is] good for driving sled,” to name just two.
Since that time skiers and snowboarders have followed suit with various descriptive words for snow in English like: Powder, groomed, dust on crust, rime, crud, moguls, mush, breakable crust, slab, blow, drift, etc…….
