In the event that you can’t find a sturdy board to aid construction, (and have enough snow and time), increasingly larger inclined snow planes can also be built to assist in raising body segments.

Do the same thing with the second and third ball.
It might also be easier to have a snowman with just one big fat tummy and a head.

Hope I get seriuous snow here in the Pyrenes to make out for this advice.

Actually, I have several tons of it in my basement right now. It may not be the epitome of political correctness, but it is quite the manly heating fuel. And I can always donate a few pieces to dress up the neighbor’s kids’ creations.

Speaking of dressed up, and old scarf makes a nice snowman accessory.

Much fun.

I have a laid-back week in Minnesota coming up, and I’m hoping for snowball-snow so I can make one of these bad boys again!
