#breckekenridge #colorado #breckenridgerealestate


Snow sculptors from all over the world will descend on Breckenridge from Jan. 23 to Feb. 1 to transform 12-foot-tall, 25-ton-blocks of packed powder into intricate works of art. 

Twelve teams — hailing from Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Great Britain, Denmark, India and Switzerland, Vermont, Wisconsin and Breckenridge — will sculpt around the clock starting at 11 a.m. Jan. 23 and ending at 9 a.m. Jan. 27. They will be challenged with adding to the temporary outdoor sculpture garden in downtown Breckenridge without using power tools, colorants or internal support structures. 

Finished sculptures can be enjoyed from Jan. 27 to Feb. 1 and will be illuminated each night. Spectators can vote for their favorites online at GoBreck.com/vote. Voting closes at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28.
