I hope there's enough new snow for you, Ed. Seems like using the stuff plowed off the parking lot could be something of a struggle -- although I guess it'd make a pretty solid structure. HPH

They've been saving a little area and leaving it unplowed for us. Hope they do the same this year.

We did get the igloo built though and I stopped by to take a picture Sunday morning on the way to Bear Lake:

Nice... we encountered the same thing.. snow that would not pack. broke crust easily, became more like cold corn meal.. I couldn't imagine trying to make an igloo with that..
