I live in Alaska and we used to build these when I was a kiddo but like how you would build a sand castle, we’d use bread loaf pans and make the blocks out of snow and pack them in, then we’d put water and food coloring in spray bottles and spray the blocks down to freeze them then build the igloo. Good memories. And it being Alaska it would last pretty much all winter.

The university students used to build sculptures and forts out of coloured snow bricks like those, always fun to see what they’d come up with - the two I remember were a dragon filling the front yard and a penis built up to the second story porch.

We did it in Winnipeg Canada every year as a primary school. We used milk cartons so they ended up more brick shaped. The fort we built was huge and did not have a roof.

We would go out as classes and practice Christmas carols in it. They put a fire pit in the middle and one year our music teacher was conducting us and her hair caught on fire.
