2010 Budweiser International Snow Sculpture Champion Announced
And the winner is Lithuania which built a textured sculpture of a gloved hand holding up the “V” sign symbolizing the fragility and temporary nature of victory every day is a fight entitled, “Milite Est Vita” (Left). Bringing in the silver is Team Canada, “Memories from my Youth” (Center), an elaborate sculpture of the face of a Japanese princess from one side and a scene depicting her memories of a banzai garden, pagoda and bridge over a brook from the other side. Team Mexico comes in 3rd with “The Altar of Quetzalcoatl” (Right), a detailed sculpture that represents Quetzalcoatl, the god of life and dead in the Mexican culture, which included the symbol of the sun in his daily rebirth.
Hopefully next year our hometown team Breck will bring home the bacon! It was a wonderful competition again this year and as always we look forward to what’s in store for 2011. The snow sculptures will stay on display at the Riverwalk Center through the end of the week.
