Team India-Callisto takes 3rd place!

I am super proud of my team India-Callisto's 3rd place win at Breckenridge International Snow Sculpting Championships!

Apparently I am Finnish??

Reporter Ellen Schmidt from MPR apparently can't read signs and thought I was the Finland team captain in Stillwater?? LOL!  Check out this link and look for several photos of me hand polishing our sculpture.  

Here is an actual photo of Janne.  Note the uncanny resemblance.

Extremely cold but sunny

Temperatures this morning started at -18F.  The blocks are extremely hard and we are in for a couple of tough days as we dig into this block.

Tools up in Breck!

 After a 14 hour drive from Stillwater, MN to Breckenridge, CO, I am finally onsite to start sculpting today!   We had -12F temps with 30 mph winds to sculpt while I was in Stillwater, and Breckenridge is not going to be much warmer - currently -3F.

I will post more updates as the event progresses.   You can also follow along here:
