21st Annual Budweiser International Snow Sculpture Championship, Breckenridge Colorado
This week starts the 21st annual Budweiser Snow Sculpture Competition. The first week is when all 15 of the 12 foot tall, 20 ton snow blocks get stomped by our local Breckenridge volunteers. Thank you Breckenridge Resort Chamber members and Breckenridge Public Works Team!!! This truly is a job in itself! The public works people man the snow making machines and position the molds as the volunteers climb in and stomp around packing the snow as tight as possible. 20 TONS EACH!!!!!
The Sculptures "live" in the area around the Riverwalk Center grounds at 150 West Adams Avenue, Breckenridge, CO 80424. We welcome visitors from beginning to the end of this free event (January 25 - February 6, 2011).
