Breckenridge International Snow Sculptures still Beautiful for Viewing

The teams are done, the celebrations complete. The art? It is still up and so beautiful. This past week and the coming weekend mark the final days you can view each hand sculpted work.

Team Canada-Quebec secured first prize with “Great Expectations,” a complex and cohesive piece depicting the “ice houses” once used to preserve meat, poultry and fish on the Saint Anne River in central Quebec.

Team Germany won second with “Dancing Screens,” an ambitious and superbly executed piece that rendered harmony within an imbalance of angles.

Team Baltic (Latvia/Estonia) won third with “Discover the Edge of the World,” which used flowing lines to create 360-degree interest.
