I did exacrtly this when we had the snow before Christma biggrin All the sledgers (sp?) were expecting me to hurt myself! the best line came from one of the kid's mums though (bearing in mind that I turned up in full gear - snowboard, boots, trousers, helmet)

"Have you done this before?"

Ditto. Me and the missus turned up on our boards, which prompted lots of the sledgers to try standing up on their sleds.
The carnage was amusing smile

A snow vagina would be far more amusing and more of an artistic challenge.

Anyway isn't building a snow cock a bit..you know..festive?
