Quinzhee Part 1
1:00 PM – meet in front of Park Office
A Quinzhee is a snow shelter that is
easy to build and can provide a warm
shelter from the winter’s cold. Since
there is a measured amount of time
required from the piling of the snow to
the excavation of the shelter to allow
the snow crystals to sinter (knit/bond)
- usually several hours, we are doing
this program as a “Part 1” & “Part 2”
type of thing. Program is snow-
dependent.
Sunday, January 19
Quinzhee Part 2
1:00 PM – meet in front of Park Office
The Quinzhee mound will have
solidified enough to allow us to
excavate the shelter. Join us to finish
our snow-shelter and learn how to
make your own quinzhee safely at
home.
