Ice & Snow Sculptures


In the spirit of the season I thought it would be fun to blog about snow and ice sculptures. Ice/snow sculptures are an art form and can be very detailed. A lot of ice sculptures are made out of things that are popular at the time, such as cartoon or movies characters. A great deal of ice/snow sculptures is done on a very large scale. During this season there are winter carnivals and contests all over the world where artists can show case their talents.
Winter Carnival in McCall




There is one locally that is in McCall. I have gone once and it is just a fun atmosphere and the sculptures really complete the town especially with the snow on the ground. Some sculptures can be quite detailed and its pretty amazing what the artist can do considering ice/snow is the easiest medium to work with. Ice/snow sculptures are a great tradition for the winter months and I hope is one that continues on.
