The most I’ve every ‘sculpted’ with snow is a snowman, and mostly those happened by watching kids out the window while I prepared the cocoa and shortbread for the after-party!
ย –a rare snow day in the Arizona desert, way back when…
–a snowbear for Rachel on a special snowy day in Powell River!
–other snow people I have met on walks back in Powell River days…
But in this land of eternal winters (not really…) they think up bigger things to do with snow and ice…This week is Banff’s Snow Days festival and they’ve lured in top world-wide competitors to show us their skill.ย We had the grandkids for the weekend so after we were done sledding out front of our house we headed to Banff to have a look-see. It was incredible!
The textured detail of this wolf is remarkable enough but when you stroll around the backside…you get a peek inside the mind of a wolf!
Contestants from Alaska created this version of a Homesteader…
And always there must be a bear…
And our little dear…

“See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.” Ex.31:2-5 NKJV
God’s image in man is seen still, in the sculpting of SNOW!
