7. Visit a hotel made completely out of snow and ice. Not too many people can say they've eaten in an ice restaurant or danced in an ice bar now, can they ?

9. Rent an insulated glass igloo and watch the stars (or if you're lucky the northern lights) dance above your head.

This is sheer bliss !

10. Board a plane during a snow storm and see it getting de-iced before it takes off.

That happened to our luggage in about 20 seconds thanks to the snow storm .
