If it's January it means that it's time for the International Snow Sculpture Contest in Breckenridge. So if you have been following my blog you know that the first year we went to see this I made a *little* error in the weekend that we could go see the sculptures. Last year we went on the right weekend and got to see them. And we made it again this year.
Once again, we were blown away by the artistry and the beauty of these sculptures. They are simply gorgeous. I mean these things start off as a big ol' chunk of compacted snow and in a week the artists transform it into these creations. We got into Breckenridge about 4 o'clock- just in time for us to see the sculptures in the daylight. By the time we finished we were hungry and went to find something to eat. We have eaten in downtown Breckenridge quite a lot but had never tried
Swiss Haven. It serves fondue and raclette and we had a pretty good meal there. After dinner we went back to the sculptures and saw them with the colored lights on them. The lights really help capture the intricacy of the pieces and we actually like to see them lit up instead of in natural light. Enjoy!
