Weekend Snapshot



Every year as part of the Winter Carnival, there are snow carvings done up at the sky hill. Many time now, my older brother, Terry, and 2 of his friends have taken part in the Snow Carving Competition. The first year, they took 2nd place and a couple years ago they took second again, other than that, they always seem to take first place, and every time they have competed they have won the People`s Choice Award. This year, they competed again and...


You may well want to click on the photos for a larger view of them so you can see the detail these guys put into their work. Also, to read the write up they did on the sign.




I really preferred some they have done in past years over this one, yet this is still great. I am very proud of Terry & our very good, long time friend Colin (I really don`t know Rob). They won`t compete here next year as the winner each year goes to compete in Quebec the following year.

I tried snow carving when a student at Michigan Tech. I bow to their expertise.
