$10k-$12k per pound depending who you buy from, with no import taxes but you never know the purity. Actually, a form of "import tax" might be jail, but worth the risk for some people. Good luck, hope this helps

Get a plow shovel I forget the actual name, but they're good for moving a lot of snow around by hand. Liquid fertilizer sprayers can be good for spraying water at dry snow, which will make it harden faster and not crumble. Spray painting corners of the lips can make it easier to spot features in flat light, especially if you can fit multiple features sequentially in a line. If you have the money/time, either get an electric motor or a harbor freight predator motor and build a rope tow.
