Ice/Snow Sculptures in Breckenridge




One of the reasons people move to South Park is the proximity to the Summit County ski areas: Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin and Copper Mountain. So occasionally I'll post something about happenings "over the hill".

Yesterday I went to Breck to do some shopping and stopped to view the results of the 2010 Budweiser International Snow Sculpture Championship - the 20th annual contest. The entries were all fascinating, and some were so intricate that it was hard to imagine how they were carved by the various teams from around the world!

Here are a few pictures of some of my favorites, and there are more, including the winners, at 2010 Budweiser International Snow Sculpture Championship

The first one is called The Happy Herdsmen, and was carved by a team from China. The second is The Last Iceberg, by a team from Alaska.
