5:15pm – 10:00pm – NEW – Snow Glow: Projection Mapping Art Installation 

We invite you to celebrate the 30^th Anniversary of the Breckenridge International Snow Sculpture Championships presented by Toyota with Snow Glow, an innovative journey on the forefront of art.  A team of visual light designers will collaborate with a non-competing snow sculpture team to bring a 30-foot intricate snow sculpture to life.  During the course of three days, the snow sculpture team will create their 30-foot masterpiece (3 times the size of the ISSC presented by Toyota team sculptures).  Upon completion, every inch of the snow sculpture’s surface will be digitally mapped and measured to fit almost half a million digital map locations the size of a pixel on every throughout the sculpture’s surface.  Each pixel of the projection mapping production is specifically mapped to the uneven surfaces of the snow sculpture and animated to create the visual effect of the images coming to life. The melding of the two art forms creates Snow Glow, an innovative display that allows the artists to tell their story through light and sound using state-of-the-art pinpoint mapping technology.  The effect creates a 2D animation that will look 3D to the naked eye.

Location: Blue River Plaza

Time: Snow Glow runs continuously 5:15pm – 10:00pm from Jan. 24 through Jan. 29

Driving In

While we recommend going carless in Breckenridge, if you do need to rent  or drive your car, make sure you’re comfortable with mountain driving conditions and choose a vehicle that’ll fit your checked baggage, skis and snowboards. Visit GoI70.com to learn the best times to travel to avoid congestion.   We expect this to be a very busy weekend and encourage carpooling, rideshares and visitors using the Bustang if they are visiting from Denver.

Before you jump on the road, check real-time road conditions at CoTrip.org. Once here, we recommend  leaving the car parked at your hotel or rental during your stay or leaving it in one parking spot. Once you are parked you can easily take the free bus, trolley or lodging shuttles to and from town or to the mountain so you don’t have to worry about finding parking again. Almost everything in town is pay-to-park and fills up quickly.

2020 Registration is closed.

Technical Week – January 14-19, 2020

Volunteer to create the enormous blocks of snow the artists will use for the competition! Technical week allows the initial building of the blocks and offers time for the blocks to compress under their own weight prior to being carved. This allows for a more consistent medium, giving the sculptors the ability to execute their gravity-defying designs. There are limited volunteer opportunities available.
