Too funny! Of course the owner might not have thought so.
That year, and the year after we had unusually large snowfalls for us here in Central Kentucky, ~24", and like you, we had huge snow drifts.
There was a tragedy one of those years: a 6-year-old boy went out to play in the snow and after a while his mother thought it was time for him to come back in, but when she went out, she couldn't find him. A big search ensued with cops, firemen, and volunteers but they still couldn't find him. They didn't know if he had wandered off or had been abducted or what. In the spring when the snow drifts melted, they found his body only a few feet from the door.
That is a really sad story.
It makes me think of jumping off the roof of one of my friends house. They had a ranch house with a walk out basement in the back. The snow drifted in there about 10’ deep. We jumped off the roof into the snowbank that winter.
We also set up a snow cross trail where the snowmobile would pull a skier with a rope tow from a water ski boat. The driver of the snowmobile would turn so the skier would swing out and go over a jump. Just a bunch of teenage kids having fun in the snow.
