2. It's packed.

Snowpack and snowfall are two different things. Snowpack is what's on the ground after numerous snowfalls. The light fluffy snow consolidates and compacts. That's how 358 inches of snowfall become 128 inches of snowpack.

At ski places, snowpack is called base. E.g 72-inch base with 4 inches of fresh powder.
