Snow shelters can be crafted from blocks of frozen ice crystals, which because of their low moisture content, can be handled like light-weight building blocks. The igloo design is preferred, with a dug-in 'arrival arch' crafted over the entrance to keep out the constant wind and drifting ice crystals.
Simple pointed saws are used to cut the ice bricks, with one side being slightly slanted, so as to stack the bricks toward a center opening.
