The destructible snowman has 100 health and can be thrown down in quick succession to provide cover.

You can also have a more permanent hiding spot using the Sneaky Snowman item by placing the snowman where you’re standing when something is in front of you. Unlike the method above, the snowman won’t disappear after a couple of seconds.
[Tip] You can place the snowman into yourself with something else infront of you and it wont disappear! from FortNiteBR
