Snow Sculptures

Hey everyone...another busy weekend. On Friday we went up to the mountains to Breckenridge to see the annual snow sculpture display. We usually go on Saturdays but this year we went on Friday because mom is off work now. We got to see how the artists do the work. They start out with giant blocks of compacted snow and make the neatest statues out of them. No power tools are allowed so they are made totally by hand. There were a few ice sculptures that did allow power tools but they were just for decoration, not in the competition. It was a sunny day and I got to walk around alot, if my feet got cold mom picked me up till I wiggled to get back down. We all had fun!

In the car and ready to go


The mountains were very pretty


The tunnel that goes through the Continenal Divide...It is very long


Yay...here we are at Breck

Time to go see some snow statues

The whole pack

First, huge blocks of snow

Then the plan

Time to create

We saw lots of the sculptures getting worked on



We didn't stay overnight this time so we didn't see the final statues but mom found some pictures of a few of them



There were some ice carvings as well

We stopped for a while and enjoyed the sun before we headed back to the car


Mom and Dad enjoyed the snowy scenery on the way home, I...was tired.




I hope all of you pupsters had a wonderful and restful weekend.
Until Next Time,
Draco
