Snow sculpting is the art of creating three-dimensional sculptures from snow. Artists use tools like shovels, saws, and chisels to carve intricate designs, often working with large blocks of packed snow. The process requires skill and creativity, as the snow's texture and temperature can affect how it can be shaped. Competitions, such as the International Snow Sculpture Championships, showcase talented sculptors from around the world. These events often feature themes, and teams work together to create stunning displays that can be several feet tall. The sculptures are typically temporary, melting away as the weather warms.
