Lake Geneva's 16th Annual Snow Sculpting Competition
Lake Geneva on its Lakefront is once again the host of the 16th Annual Winterfest and Snow Sculpting Competition. Beginning today, January 31, 2011, until February 6th. The location is the Riviera Park on the shores of Geneva Lake in WI.
Beauty and art made of snow. I love it. Children are especially into the many different shapes, sizes and characters of these magnificent snow sculptures. You’ll be most impressed if you visit the site often during the week and watch it unfold. Let the imagines soar!

To begin - Each team receives a cylinder shaped 8’x9’ block of snow. Prominently displayed on the grounds of Historic Riviera on the lake front in downtown Lake Geneva, Wi. Each team’s snow is chosen by a lottery system. There are no “guarantees” on the condition of the snow. If snow is not available (which is unlikely considering we’re expected to have heaps of snow soon) and making the snow isn’t an option.
Then the ice-carving competition will commence! Ice carving is just as fascinating, beautiful and those who participate in this sport are so amazingly talented.
On Saturday, Febraury 5th at 11am is when all the sculpting stops and the judging begins. Vote (People’s Choice) for your favorite art piece and enjoy!
