Original Title: Our mountain of snow on our front lawn has peaked at about 9ft, I think (wish I could post a picture). When I throw more snow to the peak, it now just tumbles down the sides. Given a fixed lawn area, is there a way to calculate if it can go higher?

I think this can be calculated with sand or dirt. Can it also be calculated with snow?
