Had the tunnel been the beginning of a long snow track, like something out the winter rally circuit, that might have been interesting. 😕
Mind. Blown.
Hate to be a killjoy, but leaving that tunnel as is is fantastically irresponsible. There is no support and with a bit more snow on top or some melting, there is a serious risk of collapse. They should have had their fun, then opened up the top and left the path clear with blue sky above. When kids see this and start playing in it - and on it - they'd never be able to get out should the roof and walls collapse on top of them. You would think the adults doing this would know better.
Yeah.

I was thinking exactly that 🙁
I just caught up with this thread. I don't know in precisely what sort of area they built that tunnel, but I can promise that the biggest danger around that tunnel is from the kids who are going to see it, climb to the top, and stomp on it until it crumbles.
My authority for saying so is that I was born and raised in Winnipeg Canada where our 1970s childhoods were filled with snow caves, snow forts, and snow tunnels, and no one ever died, or got crushed, or anything else.
Plus, I would have been one of the first to kick in the top.
Great choice of music for riding road bikes slowly in the cold.
giant snow tunnel
might have to take a little exception to the word "Giant" there....
but to get back on track what fat bike for riding snow tunnels?
Always the clicking from chest mounted go pros.
I liked the bit where they rode the bike through the snow tunnel.
Ha. When we were teenagers, and it used to snow properly here in Wales we did something a bit similar. The farm drive is up a long sunken lane and it used to regularly drift full of snow, producing a drift upto 8 foot deep and a similar width, and about 200 metres long on a steep hill. We got in there and tunnelled it out (in sections from top to bottom) then plugged all the holes so it was a single tube all the way down. We then used our plastic feed bag sledges to toboggan down it. It was fantastic fun, a bit like the drain scene on the Italian Job.
Funny how it used to drift up almost every year back then. I can not recall it filling with snow like that for the past 20 years!
It's like watching Teletubbies.

I wasn't. I was too bored to think anything. I copied that from the Youtube comments of joy.
