International Snow Sculpture Championships

It was another beautiful display of snow art following the International Snow Sculpture Championships in Breckenridge late January, where 15 teams from around the globe got together to shape their 12 foot tall blocks of snow into a walking gallery of beautiful snow sculptures. This year, the art display was even kicked up a notch with new LED lighting, showing off the great detail of the sculptures after sunset.

"Team Budweiser" responsible for the Budweiser Sponsor's Gateway piece (shown below) had some familiar Breckenridge Associates Real Estate faces - Rob Neyland, Ron Shelton and Tom Day. They, along with team members - Aaron Kriss, Amanda Kriss Sara Thomas and Tim Schwander worked to create the beautiful Budweiser piece, featuring the famed clydesdale horses.

The recently extended “Team Breck” with captain Keith Martin, joined forces with Tim West, Rob Baker and David Pfau to carve the 3rd place creation titled “Underwater” featured below. Keith and crew got their itch to compete in the International Snow Sculpture Championships after participating in the Snowflake Challenge, a locals’ snow sculpting contest sponsored by Breckenridge Associates Real Estate the past three years.
