What's the meaning

of forte here? Nothing seems to make sense in the dictionary.

"I built one(huge snowman) about half that size once, which we ended up hollowing and using as a forte for snow ball fights with neighbors... you can cover your entry hole with a plastic sleigh and be completely protected, only to pop it open and chuck a snowball at your little sister."

And also does he meant hollowing it out here?

Thanks a million!

Nothing seems to make sense in your dictionary because, in my opinion, there is a typographical error in the transcription of the word fort (a fortified building or strategic position). "Forte" is incorrect within the context you have provided. It means something completely different.

Never. "Does he meant" is not correct.

With good reason. The author used the wrong word, he meant "fort."
