Looks like permafrost a few inches down.

None of the permafrost that I ever saw, including what I lived on top of, was white like that. [I'm not saying that it couldn't be-- just that I never saw any white like that.]

Sure Mars is cold now but here's a photo taken only 60,000 years ago:

My take is not permafrost, but compacted fines. When run over talcum powder clumps and shines.

I like your observations and when I saw the picture I thought the same thing.
Maybe Mars is one big permafrost ball that has earth on it due to all the space matter falling on it over the decades?
