Skiing and Budweiser International Snowsculpture Championships

It's been awhile since I got a post up here, but better late then never. We got up skiing again this weekend for our 8th day on the slopes of the year. The weather had been warm but they got a dusting of snow just before the weekend so the conditions were alright. I've been in the mountains for 8 winters now and I have yet to see a really good snow season but it's always pretty good and the terrain is much better then Minnesota.

After we finished skiing for the day we headed over to Breckenridge to check out the Budweiser International Snowsculpture Championships. It was really quite amazing to see what these artists could do with a 20 ton block of snow. I really can't imagine spending so much time on something that would melt away so quickly but it was great to be able to see them while they lasted.
