January 24 marks the return of the annual and much anticipated International Snow Sculpture Championships (ISSC). A rtists will spend 65 hours carving 20-ton blocks of snow into awe-inspiring masterpieces. S now sculptors from around the globe will make Breckenridge their home during the event, taking place January 24-February 5, 2012. The competitive field is made up of 15 teams this year and the talent pool of sculptors will be exceptional as most every team has medaled in competition before.  The International Snow Sculpture Championships will again be cast under a LED-lighting display as introduced last year, illuminating the sculptures and giving a different perspective to the event. We highly recommend checking out the snow sculptures in the evenings throughout the event for the opportunity to see the creations in this beautiful display of light.

The 4th Annual Breck Snowflake Challenge Amateur Snow Sculpture Competition in Breckenridge was a huge success.

The Annual Breck Snowflake Challenge is underway and while we don't have pictures yet to share for this year's event - since it's just getting going - we can share some in-progress photos below from a previous year's contest. (We'll post photos of completed snow sculptures and the winning teams in our January ENewsletter.) We are always impressed with the sculptures our local talent brings to the table. Take the time to stroll Main Street later this week and cheer on the snow artists as they tackle the elements to create their own snow art masterpieces. Last year's record early season snowstorms helped create the perfect canvas for the sculptors, while this year the artists have to work a little harder to find large amounts of snow. It's all part of the challenge and fun and we're sure our sculptors will not disappoint. If you can't stroll through town this week (finished sculptures will be completed and judged on December 16), be sure to check bac...
