In reply to VictorM:
My pet peeve is short, light people who make dainty little holes that don't break through the crust. Not only do they not make sensible holes and screw up the snow forcing me to walk toe-heel but they don't break through the crust either so I am perpetually falling through to a deeper layer.
The sight of tiny folk trying to use my holes never fails to amuse though as they often get stranded half way through a stride as if they are trying to step over a pommel horse.
