Preparation. Build. Product.

A quinzhee or quinzee is a “Canadian snow shelter that is made from a large pile of loose snow which is shaped then hollowed. A quinzee can be made for winter camping and survival purposes, or for fun.” 

Congratulations! You have successfully prepared, built and enjoyed the final product of your quinzee! The process took time, hard work, determination and effort but overall, it was worth it. During the three step process, you may have experienced a variety of thoughts, feelings and emotions. Take us through your experiences at each stage of the quinzee process by expertly crafting a blog post. Your blog post must include reference to the following stages:
  1. Preparation (bringing materials, choosing a space, piling snow)
  2. Build (doorway, hollowing out your quinzee, making it feel like “home”)
  3. Product (spending time in your quinzee)

As you discuss each stage of the process, share with the reader your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Did building a quinzee take as much time as you thought it would? Which stage posed the most challenge? How did it feel sitting in your quinzee when it was done? What would it be like to use a quinzee for shelter during an extended period of time? 

The list of questions could go on, and on… Remember to use descriptive word choice as you describe each stage. The reader should feel as though they are right there sharing in the experience with you as they read!

*Please have your final blog post uploaded to your website by Wednesday, December 9th.*
