"powder snow" in Mandarin There is a type of snow called powder snow. What is the translation in Chinese? Somehow, 粉雪 doesn't sound quite right.I should provide a description: "Powder is freshly fallen, untouched, soft snow. Powder, tiny flakes and crystals form the smooth and soft surface in mountains. It forms a soft smooth surface that will give you the feeling that you are floating in a weightless environment. "
