In parts of the world, winter is synonymous with snow, and if you want to make it through the winter with your sanity in tact, you've got to deal with the fact that there will be snow throughout the course of the winter. If you like to play in the snow, you'll hope for lots of snow, and you will want it to be heavier than the powdery stuff that doesn't pack well. There are all sorts of things that you can do with good, heavy and packable snow.

Here are some ideas to get you started.
