Stay the hell off it! Much like avalanche areas.
Darwinism at work, both.
Absolutely this!
General advice…
If you had to affect rescue for a stuck HUMAN (not scruffy the 12 year old wonder mutt) spread your weight as wide as possible….like your walking on 10’ soft snowpack, snowshoes, boards, tarps, cardboard, evergreen fronds, ANYTHING that allows you to spread your weight and NOT apply too much weight on a footprint sized spot.
Water-jets are the best way to get unstuck.
