I used to live in Churchill Manitoba, (Polar Bear Country)
THe place was an artic desert with less than an inch of precip per year. When the snow came it was drift snow off Hudson's Bay and buried everything.
Me and my friends used to walk to school over snowdrifts that buried our houses. Up one side past your bedroom window and down the otherside.
It was a hoot. We used to joke that it was faster to go over a house than around it.
ha! ha! ...depending how old you are (skilled in) skiing and/or ski-doo (jump-over.)
