We did the same thing! Raised ranch house, we had to get the snow off the roof, then just jumped off. Dad also put all the extra snow next to one side of the garage, iced it down, then put a ladder on the other side. We climbed up and slid down the other side! We also had all sorts of tunnels and hollows burrowed into the yard like a cave system. What fun!!
