Hey, Ed. What's the biggest igloo you've ever built?

An eleven foot inside diameter at the floor. It sleeps five easily.

I think the snow is going to collect deeply in the igloo site though and we might need to build another igloo before the season is over.

As the snow continues to build on and around the site, what is the upkeep/maintenance/options for igloos?

Thanks Mike. At the very least, the door/walk needs to be shoveled off. After a while one ends up with a stairwell going down into the igloo. It gets tiring going up and down stairs every time ya go out of the igloo. Then the accumulated snow on the top of the igloo makes it dark inside and the igloo itself can be shoveled off it wanted.
