I've heard this before, and it puzzles me. There are certainly different
kinds of snow, and it would seem odd if Eskimos don't have names for them.
Skiers, for instance, do have names for the different kinds of snow that
they encounter. As another example closer to home, how many words for
"horse" are there in English?
