Once a year the Scouts go up into the mountains and "sleep" in snow shelters and "have fun" competing in scout skills in the snow. Actually, the kids do sleep and have fun. The adults? That is another tale. Andrew turned 12 on the day of the Klondike. For snow shelters they dug snow caves in 8 feet of hard pack. One father/son pair built an igloo. At its base it was 10 feet across. The snow was deep enough for the kids to climb up on the outhouse.
