Carving out a masterpiece

Take a 12-foot-tall block of ice, a 5-person team, and a dream…and 65 hours later…VoilĂ ! A masterpiece is born. Sixteen teams from around the world competed in Breckenridge to create the most creative snow sculpture. Artists transformed giant cubes of snow into glittering works of art, using nothing but a few small tools—like saws, chisels, carrot scrapers, and chicken wire—and their own two hands. See these amazing sculptures before they melt away. Catch the 19th Budweiser International Snow Sculpture Championships in Breckenridge now through February 1.
