The Snow Shelter Building Workshop is a hands-on and truly memorable experience: we'll learn to build effective snow shelters quickly, then put them to the ultimate test by sleeping inside them overnight. Because if you ever get caught out on a winter route—lost, exhausted, or dealing with an unexpected incident—knowing how to shelter in the snow could save your life. Key topics: snow shelter construction · teamwork · insulation techniques · safety protocol · sleeping bag and waterproof bivouac sack use. Structure (full weekend): Dates are set by the guide based on snowfall to ensure adequate snow depth. Participants receive meeting location and time a few days in advance. Day 1 opens with a briefing and material overview, shelters are built, and the night is spent inside them. The following morning the shelters are taken down and the group heads home with an unforgettable story to tell.
