Inuit have more than 20 different words for snow to describe the qualities.
Us honky white people don't use more than maybe 6 or 8, some just to do with slab avalanche conditions.
I do see one snowdrift every winter, maybe 6' high at the crest, that I can walk on and hardly leave a boot mark.
If I borrowed from 2 other drifts just as hard, I could build maybe 8' in diameter at the base.
Igloo is a house. Igloolik is a snow house and the kudlik or quilliq is your soapstone lamp/stove/cooker/heater.
You do your food prep with the Ulu. There is no wood at all.
Next, lacking any suitable whale ribs in your front garden, you make a snow knife from a crappy old handsaw blade.
About a 16" blade in a bone handle, maybe 2 squar-ish teeth per inch.
Search UBC/MOA online collection and look at the carved/decorated rib snow knives.
