snow tunnel
Carved ice corridor
A snow tunnel is a passage dug through deep snow or a snowbank, either for practical movement or as winter play.
Children burrow snow tunnels for fun; in serious conditions, they serve as emergency shelters or routes between buildings buried by drifts.
The kids spent all afternoon building a snow tunnel in the backyard.
