Carve Tahoe returned to
Northstar California this year (January 31st through February 2). February 1 was an excellent day to see all
eight snow sculptures, just finished and slowly starting to melt under the blue sunny sky at this Sierra Nevada skiing resort between Truckee and Lake Tahoe.
Eight teams from around the world came to take part in this
international snow sculpture event, at which they created—by use of hand tools—inspiring sculptures out of 20-ton blocks of snow. Here are the diverse creations of the teams:
The
snow artists put tales, ideas, abstractions and thoughts into amazing structures of the
white stuff. Reflecting in the sunshine, the sculptures were circled and pictured by visitors, knowing that the
snowy masterpieces will not last for very long.
