You will need to locate a large and stable snow drift in order to make a snow cave. If you cannot find a slope you can dig a tunnel inside the drift. An 18-inch entrance will be required and 2 feet by 2 feet of snow. You will then need to pack down the snow and create a door. You're now ready for a snow cave! Once you've built your cave, be sure to mark it using a ski or wad.


It is vital to consider the structure of a winter cave. A snow cave cannot be supported by loose snow. Your roof and walls need to be sturdy enough to keep you safe from the elements. You should not dig a large hole that is too big to cause collapse of the whole structure. Once you've dug a small hole, you can shape your snow cave. After that, you can start decorating your snow-cave.

A kerosene stove or lamp might work well if you're making a snow cave for just two people. However, this heating source is silently deadly. The gasses can build up and cause the victim to suffocate or even die from lack of oxygen. In such cases, it's best to keep these tools and equipment inside the snow cave. A shovel makes digging easier.

Be careful not to slip when you sleep in a snow-cave. The snow will be slippery if it is warm, so take care not to slip. A melted ice surface will reduce the ventilation of the cave. This could cause suffocation. Fortunately, you can easily scrape off the ice each day. Once you have done this, your door will be open and you'll find a window that opens onto the snowy area.
