A model of human contrast sensitivity predicts that the spatial period of groomed snow may render it invisible in the shade or on overcast days. I confirm this prediction with visual demonstrations and make a suggestion to improve visibility %K contrast sensitivity %K first tracks %K groomed snow %K spatial vision %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2041669519842895
