A must see before returning to your Whistler accommodations
Artists are amazing. Anyone who has the talent and skill to create beautiful works of art using imagination and various tools of the trade are just inspiring. And when I consider that some artists choose nature as the medium of choice, I’m even more awestruck by the artist’s creativity and talents. I’ve seen various artisans create sand sculptures and ice sculptures. But I have never witnessed anyone create snow sculptures. Travelers to Whistler BC Canada during the end of February will get to witness first hand two teams of snow sculptors create one of a kind works out of blocks of packed snow.
This year, from February 27 – 29, as part of the Celebration Whistler 2010 events, visitors will delight in the awe and wonder of two snow sculptures. Thanks to the Whistler Art’s Council, The Canadian National Snow Sculpture Team and Team Alberta will each have 2 days to complete their sculptures. The environmental conditions make The Roundhouse at Whistler Mountain a prime location for such a delicate an intricate art.
If you are traveling to Whistler Canada and will enjoy your Whistler ski vacation during the last few days of February, be sure stop by the Roundhouse before returning to your Whistler accommodations at the end of the day. You’re sure to see some of the most the most beautiful and amazing snow sculptures.
But don’t forget your cameras. Aside from snapping photos of the two teams of three using only hand tools and working in potentially sub zero temperatures to finish their creations in less than 48 hours, you will get a picture of one of a kind works of art. Snow sculptures are temporary and can’t be reproduced. The only way to keep them forever is to take a picture.
And you can bet those photos will be worth far more than 1000 words.
