snow sculptures

Winter yard art

Snow sculptures are three-dimensional artworks carved or molded from packed snow.

Unlike snowmen built by stacking spheres, snow sculptures are shaped from large compacted blocks, often depicting figures, animals, or abstract forms.

They range from amateur backyard creations to elaborate competition pieces at winter festivals: The ice festival featured snow sculptures of dragons and castles.
