See an Igloo Without Going to Alaska

Scoping out the Breckenridge Nordic Center's igloo. Awesome! Now build your own and sleep in it!

Okay, I told you about 9 things you should know when visiting Breckenridge, Colo., in my super-spectacular previous post. Here’s something I forgot to mention: There, you can check out an igloo. It’s a small one, fit for two people at the most. But it’s a real, live igloo nonetheless.

You can drop in to the igloo at the Breckenridge Nordic Center. Get there while it lasts! You probably have a few months left.

Now, if you live in a snowy place, I’d think you need to get out there and build your own igloo. This cool story in the San Francisco Chronicle will get you started.
