Troop 21 Highlights

With the short days of winter, the troop wanted to be able to arrive at the Freezeree and move right in to our igloos and snow shelters. So the troop went up a week in advance to put the skills they had learned at the Snow Shelter Workshop to work. The work paid off, and there was even more snow during the week to put a finishing touch on the shelters.

	Aaron Dull (1st Class) describes his vision for the snow shelter to Eric Brown (ASM).
	Nathan Oliver (1st Class) hauling a snow block from the quarry to his igloo site.
	Alex Spreier (Life) laying out the base ring for his igloo.
	Henry Oberbarnscheidt (ASM) using a rather 'unique' approach to glazing down the inside of the snow walls. The heat created a bit of melt, which would then set up into a hard ice sheen on the inside.
	Joe Hogrefe (1st Class) leveling the floor of his snow shelter.
	Mitred corner blocks on the snow wall. I guess it helps when your dad is a structural engineer.
	Kyle Rood (1st Class) and Nathan Oliver (1st Class) take a break as their igloo takes shape.
	Brandon Hasart (1st Class) and Mitch Martini (1st Class) fixing branches to the walls. The branches will act as roof supports.
	The Better Homes and Gardens approach requires a properly constructed truss on your snow shelter.
	Oops! When placing the final blocks atop the igloo, the whole thing collapsed around Kyle. Back to the drawing board.
	Alex's igloo is complete and ready for move-in. A traditional one bedroom design with sunken covered entry way.
	After a hard day of running through the snow with kids, Bridget is content to crash on her blanket.
	You mean you expect me to sleep in this?
