>>There was snow on the chalk Downs this am but I doubt it'll still be there this evening. Sad, as my kids never get to toboggan (my 10 YO has only done it ONCE in her life, last year).

>Being flatlanders, when we built our house back home, we used the soil dug from the basement to build a little hill in the yard, almost a meter high. Even that much would propel a sled some six meters, when the snow was right. Though, we didn't build it as fast as we hoped, so it wasn't in time for the second daughter - but she nevertheless enjoyed it together with the third (who is 9 years younger :).
You mean you moved the spoil twice - once when digging, then later to build the slope? I don't understand - it was in time for the 1st but not for the 2nd?
