A 9 footer. Getting better at this game but still made a mistake. The floor was not completely level, the ramp ended up on the high side, the result was a real struggle to get the ramp side block to stick at about level 6. If we'd levelled the floor or put the ramp on the low side we think we would have avoided this. Very old, dry powdery snow.

Looks like you are having to much fun... Nice pictures and looks like a nice place. I like a room with a view.

I have made a number of visits to this Igloo over the last 6 weeks. It has lasted very well. Hardly deformed at all.

This is a picture of how it looked from the outside after 2 weeks.

And this one from the inside after a month.
