wither in the light

The yearly International Snow Sculpture contest in Breckenridge Colorado seems to be all about putting Breckenridge on the map... hopefully the declining numbers aren't related to the increasingly intrusive real-estate advertising. While there were fewer competitors this year than there were in the 2001 contest, for instance, there were still some impressive carvings in this year's contest.


Corporate snow sculpture sucks. I'm strictly into independent snow sculpture artists who you probably haven't heard of... your favorite snow sculpture artist is just a shabby knock-off, a one-hit wonder, totally ripping off mine. When are you going to get hip?
