To be more specific it’s just to see the layer in the snow pack and how prone it is to an avalanche. If there is a soft sugary section in the middle the whole block would slide, meaning the snow pack is not safe. There’s many nuances in the maintains however, so you have to be able to read terrain correct to ensure avoiding avalanches
