The process of snow sculpting is truly amazing! Think for a moment about all the time spent planning, not to mention constructing, turning blocks of snow into detailed snow sculptures. It is takes so much creativity, perseverance, and the right winter gear! Check out photos from previous years to get an idea of the creations that have been made. Make a plan to check out these creations in person!
