These International Snow Sculptures Put Your Snowman to Shame

The 23rd annual International Snow Sculpture Championships was held in Breckenridge, Colorado, this past Saturday. This isn’t a competition for just anyone who’s sculpted a lopsided snowman with some clumps of grass and dirt lodged in the torso. You’ve gotta be able to roll some pretty big balls to keep up with the 15 international teams who were invited to participate.
