Me, my sister, and my cousin.
The Igloo
December 2007
I packed the snow in the driveway and the sidewalk by tramping over it in snowshoes. I cut it out into cinderblock shapes with angled sides so each successive row would arc inwards to make the rounded shape. Then I hauled the blocks to the back yard on a sled. I used wet snow as cement. My dad helped me hold my sister up to place the keystone in the top.

Ski jump off the roof of my house.
I hauled additional snow on a tarp from the front yard. I built side ramp supports out of plywood.
