Building a Snow Fort in Powder Snow


Powder snow is too soft to build a fort but if you pile up the snow, it hardens within 1 hour and it is hard enough to build a cave.

Pile up as much snow as you can, and after 1 hour take a shovel and dig a tunnel into the snow pile.

The first thing you will notice once you are inside your cave is that it is warmer inside the cave than it is outside.

Take a picture of your snow after you finished piling it up and then take another picture after you have made a tunnel.

Send in your pictures (as jpegs or mail them as prints), and Global Forest will post them in the GF-Gallery along with your name and we will mail you a sticker for your GF collection.
