How to have a snow ball fight

To complete this How-To you will need:

Winter clothing
Ample packable snow
At least one other person
Snow fort, or something to hide behind like a statue or garbage can

Warning: Snowballs can be hard or full of ice and in many cases very damaging upon impact. Avoid getting hit in the face.

Step 1: Find good snow

Find some snow that can be made into good, sturdy snowballs. Wet snow is best.

Step 2: Form a snowball

Form a snowball by grabbing a bunch of snow in your two hands and squeezing it together to form a ball. Round the edges off to form a good 3-inch diameter sphere.

Tip: A little heat will help melt the snow into a firm ball, so breathe into your hands as you form them.

Step 3: Make several snowballs

Make a bunch of snowballs. Stockpile them near you or in a fort.

Tip: Snowballs made with ice, rocks, and other hard objects are considered very unsportsmanlike and can be incredibly dangerous.

Step 4: Find your target

Find your target. Throw a snowball at them when they least expect it. The element of surprise is crucial, especially if they're bigger or can throw harder.

Step 5: Continue attacking

Keep throwing to disorient your opponent and to make a counter-strike difficult to execute.

Tip: Don't completely deplete your arsenal before making new snowballs, or else you will be vulnerable to attack.

Step 6: Don't stop until they give up

Continue until your opponent lies broken before you, or at least mildly irritated.
