Can you elaborate on how having 30 words for snow affects a language's information density?

[nix23]

English needs maybe 4-5 five words to describe a particular snow condition (hard crust but underneath soft and wet), Inuits have one single word for that exact snow-condition therefore a higher information density (for that situation)

This is not the information density we are referring to.
