Saturday morning, January 26, 2008, 8:00am. Just a few hours to go before the sculptors have to lay down their tools. Some have been at it all night. Others finished Friday. The 18th Annual Breckenridge International Snow Sculpture Championships are almost done. In case you missed them, read my Pre-contest post and my Day 2 post for some background and more photos.
I'll post the winners and other finished sculptures soon.

Breckenridge, Colorado hosts the 18th annual International Snow Sculpture Championships. Sixteen teams from nine countries have 65 total hours to create these amazing, but temporary, works of art. Temporary because they melt. (Actually, they'll be bulldozed long before they have a chance to melt, but the promo piece for the event describes it as "an art gallery that melts.")
Day 2, Wednesday morning, January 23, 2008. See my earlier post showing the pre-contest setup.
They started with 10x10x12 foot blocks of snow on Tuesday. By day 2, some teams have progressed more than others.
Here is Team China's sculpture so far:
This guy is really getting into it...
Team Mexico shows off their plans to some visiting preschoolers:
Team Lithuania has the snappiest jackets...
The Lithuanians have their work cut out fot them. Note the small model sitting on the bucket at lower left. This will be a great piece of art if they can make it happen...
Something swirly from Minnesota? We'll see soon...
Another fine effort, partially done. Note the floodlights. Friday night will be an all-nighter, leading up to the Saturday morning finish.
Could it be?! A RE/MAX balloon?? We shall see.
And how about our beautiful blue skies? Great day to hit the slopes, just a block away.
More tomorrow.

The 18th annual Breckenridge International Snow Sculpture Championships begin on Tuesday, January 22, 2008.
Teams from nine countries will compete. They get 65 hours to carve a 10'x10'x12' block of snow into a beautiful work of art. Carving starts Tuesday, goes all day Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and then all night on Friday night, ending at 10am Saturday.
These blocks of snow were built over several days last week. Local residents helped stomp the snow into wood forms, which are then removed.
Sixteen teams from none countries will compete.
This is a lonely block on the Blue River Plaza on Main Street, a short walk from where the rest of the blocks are. I don't yet know who will carve this one.
