Fur Rendezvous Snow Sculpture Competition — Attraction in Alaska

Always a highlight on the Fur Rondy schedule the Snow Sculpture competition is great fun. Going at night the night before judging is even more fun because the lights against the dark backdrop contour the designs so well. I spoke with a few of the carvers and they all commented on what a great time they have conceptualizing their themes and plans and the executing them in the week before judging. Steve encouraged us to sign up next year, as registration is open to anyone who wants to give it a try. The group from the Best Buddies Club said that they are friends who have come together each year, for over 16 years, to brave the cold and sculpt together.
