so mass got dumped on this past week and got a lot of snow. of course we set up the backyard set up and what not but now its 50 degrees out and is going to be for the next few days until it snows again sometime around the end of the week. My question is there anyway to drastically help the snow not melt so we can keep it until its cold again?

get lot's of trashcans and put them in shade? Idk. We kept like 2 inches of snow for about a week without a problem. so I think you shouldn't be worried.

this may or may not work, but you can try putting tarps over the area of snow, might help.

yeah i shoveled a few wheel barrels of snow and just made a pile over like right before the jump and and threw a tarp over it and the jump. i dont know if the tarp is keeping the cool in or keeping the heat in and melt the snow faster though

Remember to keep the tarp a couple inches off the snow to allow air to flow through

go to your closest skating rink and they should have a pile in back or in the parkinglot of all the excess cleaned off from the rink, you can shovel it into a car any time you want all year long.
