[request] Assuming fresh powdery snow, how deep would it have to be for the paratrooper to survive, if possible?

My son sent me this. My immediate thought based on nothing is that it’s unsurvivable regardless of the depth.

If the snow were deep and powery enough to take that fall - wouldn’t you just have a whole bunch of soldiers wearing heavy gear stuck in super deep snow that they can’t get out of?
