[[File:3D Scan of the Snort.png|thumb|A 3D scan taken of the Snort Feb 6, 2026]]The '''Snow Fort''' ('''Snort''') was a large quinzhee (snow cave) built by [[User:FaffingFia|Fia Marrison]] and their friends on the [[Noyes Circle]] in the winter of 2025-2026. It contained four chambers and an outdoor courtyard, with various connecting tunnels.

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.

The Chalk pastels were all on 18x24 black construction paper. In Part 1, the sky can be seen through the melted ceiling, and the pile of snow from the courtyard can be seen through the old slide. A hole on the right reveals the shadowy first chamber, and trees beyond the original entrance. Part 2 is based on a photo from the second night where we crowded Reave, Fia, Melody, Quin and Sophia into the one chamber. Part 3 shows the view through the council chamber from the latest entrance into the courtyard. Above one of the council chairs, food coloring had been added by anonymous visitors as cave paintings. Part 4 is based on a photo taken by Asher and Valentin during the Snort picnic before winter break. Fia, Parker and Reave sit inside of the bench room on top of a plastic sheet and a picnic blanket, and Valentin's boot leans against the wall.

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 continue to update this page and maybe post the link to a digital zine here if they make one.
