Snow Form

The Snow Form allows you to pile snow vertically. Snow in the form should be loaded in a powder form - cold snow is ideal. The snow crystals lock together as the block sets forming a large square snow drift - usually takes around 6 hours . This block can then be manipulated using tools ranging from big knives and saws to rasps made from "gangnails" and real sculpting tools. Do not use water as it will "melt" the snow.
