International Snow Sculpture Championships
In Breckenridge each year, blank canvases of snow become works of art as unforgettable as the process of sculpting them. From a whimsical bouquet of enormous flowers, to thought provoking abstract shapes, sculptors form these masterpieces before thousands of spectators over the course of one week each year in the heart of town at the Riverwalk Center.
Artists from all over the world will come together to present the most intricate, awe-inspiring snow sculptures the world has seen. These artists will carve twenty-ton, 12-foot-tall blocks of snow down to pieces of art using only their creativity, inspiration, own two hands and permitted hand tools.
