Tue 01 Jan 2008 12:00:00 AM MSTThe was our first foray into the International Scene - huge blocks of snow - 20 tons - the weather was spectacular and we all had an fantastic time learning how to cheers in new languages and making International friends. The Chinese team wowed us all!

Mon 01 Jan 2007 12:00:00 AM MSTThe U.S. National Snow Sculpture Competition in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin - Jan/Feb 2007. Awesome weather - always a fantastically organized event. We have been coming here for a while now and its like coming home. We came in second! The Andrews brothers piece was a well-deserved first - we were followed by camera crews the whole time!

Mon 18 Aug 2008 08:06:00 PM MDTAdrian's wife was having a baby - so Adrian stayed home this year. Brooke and I decided to go all abstract while he was gone. Our third guy had to cancel in the 11th hour - and switching tickets is not happening anymore, so our back-up guy couldn't go either - so it was just Brooke and I rocking Lake Geneva.
Vermont State Snow Sculpture Competition 2006
Wed 01 Feb 2006 12:00:00 AM MSTThis year there was no snow so they gave us 8 big blocks of ice. Ice is way different then snow, but we just cobbled along and used the tools we had. Crazy! Since it was near Valentine's day we made a woman's head and - inside it - there was a couple dancing - like she was thinking about dancing with her Valentine. Lina was still in son-to0be-momma mode so Adrian was out - and Leslie stepped on in. We ended up winning!
US National Snow Sculpture Competition 2005
Sat 01 Jan 2005 12:00:00 AM MSTThis was a weird weather year - kinda warm. We made a sculpture of ourselves as if we we sculpting each other. Much of the time was spent keeping the sun off the piece - and gathering snow from the sculpture park and packing it back on to the sculpture after it melted off. Melting is a harder circumstance to deal with - but hey - you don't have to wear as many layers. We came in second in the nation - the first time Vermont has taken home a trophy! Yeah! Look at how thick the crowds are! When the weather is warm, everyone really comes out.

We stuck with the theme of people sculpting people this year and made this woman "Freeing herself from the stone". The arm kept falling off and we had to invent some robes to help hold them up. She didn't exactly end up exactly how we pictured her - there was a lot going on that year - a lot of parties and dinners - more then usual it seemed. The snow they built the blocks with was very dirty, but it snowed the last day. I was coming home from a party at 3 in the morning that last night and veered to the sculpture field and spent hours rubbing fresh white snow into the sculpture - so our piece did stand out - and we ended up winning again!
US National Snow Sculpture Competition 2004
Sat 20 Jan 2001 03:45:37 PM MSTThe active Human Cannonball is Number Two - Number One is on the Ground (He missed the X marks the spot landing pillow) The snow/smoke was one of the big unknowns - we all tried patterns out and Brooke - of course - came out with his patented swirly - which everyone commented upon. We came in fifth out of fifteen.
Vermont Snow Sculpture Competition 2004
Sun 01 Feb 2004 12:00:00 AM MSTAdrian had been talking about this one for a while - a hand coming out of the tv pointing a remote control at a zoned-out kid. Every bit of this piece was fun to work on - the hand - the tv dials and the antenna - the trash can it was plugged into - the kid. We built Jeremiah - the kid - on a tarp out of blocks carved from the main block and slid him over to his final position the morning of the last day - totally tricky stuff. We won people's choice AND the judges award.
US National Snow Sculpture Competition 2003
Wed 01 Jan 2003 12:00:00 AM MSTThis was our first year back to Wisconsin since 2000. We made a little (8 foot tall - 3 ton) hummingbird balanced on a leaf and feeding in a flower. Neil - my work-mate - went with us - his first time sculpting snow. Leslie - who helped us win in 2002 was scared to fly and Brooke - who is now one of the core sculptors - was still in college. We really learned a lot about snow sculpture from the sculptors who recognized us from 2000, and saw that we were 'into it'.
Vermont State Snow Sculpture Competition 2002
This was a reaction to the times - a giant microscope with the American flag under the slide. It was warm and rainy the beginning of day 2 so we had to cover the piece and wait for night and work all night - when of course it snowed all night. We came in first and won the coveted sculptor's choice award!
