Ski down the pyramids of course!

That would have worked, once upon a time... They used to be smooth. But with the surface stones removed, the stepped surfaces might be problematic. The blocks are typically 0.75m to 1.5m in size... ;)

But the snow would cushion your fall as you tumbled and bounced down the side Homer Simpson-style. ;)

I'll build a pyramid out of snow! And carve it out. Or make a second  Jerusalem! Greatest snow fort ever! We could accompany it with a full blown snow ball fight! Full side catapults launching enormous balls of snow. Siege Jerusalem! Have in small print *we are not responsible for injuries or death*
