Cohesion [means] bonding within a snow layer or slab, the degree of which helps determine the overall strength of the slab. Cold new low-density snow may have little or no cohesion, behaving much like loose-dry sand. Conversely, small wind-broken snow grains often bond well and have many bonds per unit area, helping to produce a very cohesive slab. 2, record 1, English, - cohesive%20slab
