Do you know what is the best day to visit Breckenridge to see the
snow sculptures? I can say... Super Bowl Day ;) Why? Because most people sit at home watching TV and leave the roads
empty... And at the Breckenridge Snow Sculpture Festival, it's not
crowded at all and you can walk between huge snow sculptures and admire
them ;)
So we were planning on doing it in 2015, but on the morning of
Super Bowl day we looked out the window and had some doubts about
whether we should go... Because we had a good 10 inches of fresh snow
falling overnight. And who wants to go to the mountains after a
snowfall, right?
But, to our surprise, snow fell only in Denver. As we entered I-70,
we found ourselves in thick fog and nearly turned back. The cars moved
slowly and carefully... We could barely see the road... for about 10
minutes, and as soon as we passed the 6500 foot mark, the fog just
disappeared... and the snow too ;)
That's right, there was no snow in the mountains, and the road was
good, clean and ... sunny! So we were glad that we didn’t turn back and
after an hour we were walking between the huge white cold sculptures,
enjoying the fact that we were not in the crowd, but still able to see
all these beauty ;)
In fact, that was the perfect day to see the snow sculptures -
sunny and bright, with deep blue skies and very few people around...
Trust me, there is no better day, and we have come to Breckenridge for
this event so many times, you can believe me!
And... honestly... today is the perfect day to refresh these
memories and look at these pictures again... Because it's almost 100F
outside and all we dream of is snow (which we won't have until at least
September ;(
