The 25th annual Budweiser International Snow Sculpture has returned to Breckenridge!  Today started stomping week, when the 12 foot by 12 foot, 20 ton blocks of snow start to take shape in the Riverwalk parking lot.  The blocks take shape a week before the competitors arrive so the snow has time to settle.   Budwieser International snow sculptures
