 The idea for the episode came from [[Tim Long]]. One Winter, his town was hit by a blizzard and all schools except his were closed down. Long and his classmates got snowed in at the school. Long said that a couple of dads brought food to the school on snowmobiles.<ref name="TimLong">{{Com|Long, Tim|Skinner's Sense of Snow|Twelfth|(2009).}}</ref> Two years after Long pitched this idea, [[Matt Selman]] pitched the setpiece, the opening of the episode, which was a parody of the {{W|Cirque du Soleil}}.<ref name="Selman">{{Com|Selman, Matt|Skinner's Sense of Snow|Twelfth|(2009).}}</ref> The two ideas were merged into the final episode.
