What is 'snow hardener' for ski slopes?
'Snow hardener' does exactly what it says: It hardens snow. Well really, it makes snow more compact. When you are skiing, you dont want soft snow otherwise that will stop your skis by swamping them, and causing lots of friction. What you want is compact snow, so that your skis can go on top of the snow rather than sink in. Snow hardener is just a catalyst for making the snow more compact so that people skiing can ski on the slopes.
Is the creaking sound produced by walking on snow is most common on old snow?
It is a crunching noise not a creaking sound. This noise occurs when walking/stepping on lying snow/ice because your weight is causing the snow/ice to compact itself therefore making a sound. Also I do not know what you mean by 'old snow'. Hope this helped, :) :L
When they say there is going to be 6 inches of snow does that mean there will be 6 inches of snow accumulation on the ground?
This means that 6 inches of snow will fall. Since snow compacts as it sits on the ground, especially when it is deep and fine/dry (as opposed to a heavier wet snow), a 6 inch snowfall could compact to 4 or 5 inches right away.

Are compact tractors as good as regular ones?
Yes compact tractors are strong enough to perform the job of a regular tractor. They are also small enough to fit into tight areas so they can be better equipped for certain jobs over regular tractors. Compact tractors lack the weight, torque and horsepower of full size tractors. For instance, when plowing deep snow a compact tractor simply won't be able to move the weight of the snow like a much larger tractor can.

Why is snow hard when you grab a handful of snow off a mountain?
It tends to be much harder than it was when it first fell because snow goes through metamorphosis as it ages...basically the top layers will melt and refreeze and also compact the snow below it. So much of the delicate crystal structures that make it so soft and fluffy have been transformed into rigid ice.
