For all the members who will be battling the elements this winter, I thought you might find this interesting. Could be a great "early Christmas present". Pretty interesting concept for igloo design. It says it works with any kind of snow, but I can't see it working with the dry powdery stuff. Does anyone have any experience with this? It would be fun for the kids (and the big kids) if it really does what it says.

There's a two-part, in-depth review of it here (sorry - membership required, but I'll post the link anyway in case anyone here is a member):

Bottom line: positive review, really does work in many kinds of snow. Great if you have a place where you can leave a "base camp igloo" for a while (as opposed to trips where you're on the move to a different site every day).

My nephews will love this. Thanks for the post!
