Breckenridge snow sculpture competition

Here is the winner of the competition from team Oregon. It is called "They Call him Old Man Winter". Talk about a lot of detail that went into this piece of art.
Here is another favorite of mine. A giraffe with her baby. Amazing how they can carve this out of snow.
Here is a unique sculpture & you can see in the background what all of these sculptures start out as. The block of ice is about 15 feet tall & 10 ft wide. The contestants are only allowed to use hand tools. No powered tools are permitted. They started on the 22 & the pieces were judged on the 27. Really cool event in Breckenridge.
