We can hardly believe another year of snow sculpting has come and gone. What fun was had and the level of talent continues to amaze all of us! The artists worked tirelessly for 65 hours to create original masterpieces from 20-ton blocks of snow (like the one below).

Here's what each sculpting team has to work with - a 20-ton block of snow!

This year’s event featured a wealth of talent – nearly every team had received a medal in competition prior to the ISSC. The final sculptures were some of the best we’ve seen, thus raising the bar again! As you can see there were plenty of spectators checking out the final sculptures during the viewing week.

The fourth member of the team was Breckenridge Associates realtor, and veteran snow sculptor, Tom Day.

The final gun sounded at 10 a.m. on the 22nd annual International Sculpture Competition, today. The intensity of the past four days: people and tools of all stripes working on the snow, crawling all over 10-foot x 10-foot blocks has transformed into mobs of people streaming by the 15 finished sculptures that sit cordoned over like works in a museum.

Last night many teams working through the night to finish. Team Breckenridge hosted by Breckenridge Associates Real Estate had finished the structure of the carosel, and was working on detailing the horses and adding jewels to the crown. "We only stayed out until two," said Tom Day, a Breck. Associates realtor working on the sculpture. Tom was not being facetious. He remembers many years when the team worked…

About 12 feet tall, 10 feet long and wide, the blocks give sculptors the opportunity to make something big, with a lot less effort than carving marble.

Fifteen teams have arrived to make sculpture. This morning, each team selected a block and attempted to claim it in the shotgun start at 11 a.m.

Although the snow looks very similar at this point, like stone, each block has different qualities depending on the composition and the temperature of the layers as it was being formed. Breckenridge uses only man-made snow, so there are very few impurities. But ice chunks…
