8 February 2015 - Winter Carnival, McCall, ID

This weekend, Aunt Kathy invited us to McCall for the Winter Carnival.  She has a timeshare that has a property in McCall and had been up for the carnival before.  One of the highlights is the snow sculpture competition.

We liked this elephant the best.

Or maybe the Star Wars themed set of sculptures was our favorite...

This gigantic snowman was dubbed Grand Marshall.

On Friday, we skied at Brundage Resort.  The resort was not crowded at all (no lift lines all day), and for most of the day we skied on groomed corduroy.  These are the front tips of my skis while in motion.

By Saturday morning, the warm temperatures had taken their toll on the sculptures.  You could tell what some of them had been, but they were a shell of their former selves.  This one, titled Davey Jones' Locker, was one you could actually walk through, but they were afraid it would collapse at any time and weren't letting people go through anymore by Saturday morning.  You can also see that one of the two dolphin/shark sculptures is all but gone.

We stayed for the closing ceremony fireworks on Saturday night.  We had a great time and were grateful to Aunt Kathy for inviting us.
