Carve Tahoe – Northstar, February 2, 2014

The second annual Carve Tahoe, which is an international snow sculpture event, started this past Monday, January 27, 2014 in Northstar and runs through tomorrow, Sunday, February 2014.

I had the chance to stop by the Carve Tahoe event today at the Village at Northstar and I can tell you first hand that these are incredible works of snow sculpture art.

If you’re not familiar with the Carve Tahoe event, the event is made up of international three-person teams. Each Carve Tahoe team receives a 20-ton block of compacted mad-made snow that starts off as a 10’x10’x12’ form. The teams can carve the snow into anything they want, or can imagine using only hand tools, snow and water.

We’ve had some crazy weather conditions over the past few days – sunshine, rain, and snow, so seeing what these teams were able to create with our wild weather this past week is really amazing.

Teams from Yukon Canada, Finland/Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, Mongolia, USA California/Netherlands, USA Tahoe/Truckee, and USA Wisconsin participated in the Carve Tahoe event. Awards were given out Saturday afternoon and you can see the snow sculptures on Sunday and Monday, weather permitting.

Here are the details:

Events like Tahoe Carve are a great way to see what artists can do with snow. Some of the sculptures were close to 20 feet in height, and it was hard to believe that they were just a block of snow just a few days before.

If you’re in the greater Northstar area try and see the snow sculptures before they are gone!

Come out and see the amazing snow sculptures at this years’ Tahoe Carve event at Northstar this Sunday, February 2, 2014!
