Normalement l'ordre des couches du manteau neigeux est une couche de neige légère en surface sur une couche plus dense sous-jacente. Cependant, après un événement neigeux, il arrive que ce soit le contraire, soit une couche de neige dense en surface, donc plus lourde, sur une couche de neige sous-jacente plus légère (poudreuse), d'où les expressions anglaises dense-over-light et upside-down. 1, record 1, French, - impression%20d%27une%20couche%20dense%20sur%20couche%20l%C3%A9g%C3%A8re
