Snow, Snow and more Snow!

Today I stopped by in a parking lot behind the main street, as they had a snow sculpture contest that brought teams from all over the world. They began with approximately 15 x 15 x 15 feet block of snow, and all of these are works in progress - I won't post all of 'em, but a few that struck my fancy. Judging occurs tomorrow at 3p.

Sponsored by an ice cold four pack of Budweiser select. I'll take my Breckridge Brewery Amber Ale over Bud any day.

Ice Ads! So cool!

Team New York! End result is going to be two polar bears. I'm not sure why New York picked polar bears ...

Team Wisconsin! Bisons! While I know some Wisconsinans are proud Gallaudetians, I didn't know that they were so proud they decided to make a snow sculpture out of it!

France picked a scene of some of its famous sculptures - very fittingly French.

China made this awesome portrayal of a hunter in the middle of the winter.

Team Breckenridge! It is going to be a mask with a sun bursting out through it ... it looks pretty cool.

This one from the Netherlands rocked - calla lilies. Gorgeous.

All in all, it was a nice day walking around in Breck - I realized I needed to do it more often.
