Some of you people are pretty funny. "Been around snow all my life!" You must just not have *played* in it enough, or you'd know different kinds of snow have all different sorts of characteristics in terms how well they can hold an impression, and how detailed that impression can be. What we see here is easily doable given a good wet pack and a deep impression. Poster Sam R. is dead on - the farther in you press, the compression packs the snow together better and produces a crisper, more detailed image.

These things are ridiculously easy to make - when the snow is right.
