Canada - the only place where kids start to learn construction at the age of 4.

Hell yes, and I'm making another this winter with my little bro when I head home at Christmas.

Yeppers. We did all the time up in Michigan.

Now that I live in Atlanta, the opportunity to build one is not as prevalent.

Yeah, I've made a few. Never at home (live in Seattle now), but off in the mountains where we take winter retreats.

yes

the part where the kids put paint in the snowballs during the battle is great though.

Yup. Snow forts are awesome.

sure did!

I think in 94 we got like 3 or 4 feet of snow here (central PA), I remember climbing onto the roof and jumping off into the drifts, which were 4 or 5 feet high.
