Many people collaborated on building the Snort. Fia, Cormac, Quin, Etta, Sophia, and Reave were the main consistent builders. Other collaborators included: Xander, Melody, Asher, Valentin, Parker (as secretary), Rache, Este, Ziva.

Fia also collaborated with two members of the grounds team, Bernardo and Jaime, to plow snow to give the Snort some more life, and to make a small snow structure by the preschool [[Winpfheimer|Wimpfheimer]].

Starting March ? there was a guestbook in the Snort that people could write notes in.

== Artwork ==

Fia has made many theoretical and representative floor plans of the Snort, and has drawn sketches of the Snort in ballpoint pen. For their Color (Art 108) midterm they made three small chalk pastel drawings on black paper. As their Drawing 1 (Art 103) final they made four large chalk pastel drawings.

Fia collapsed the Snort over spring break, and the very final remnants melted on March 25th. Fia is currently doing an independent study on Snow Architecture, and they will post the link to a digital zine here ~~once it is completed~~.
