The Best of Winter Carnival ’09

It wasn’t as cold as previous years, but it was still cold nonetheless.  Yesterday, the four of us put on our long johns, snow pants, and all our other winter accessories and headed to campus at around 3pm to check out the snow sculptures from this year.  The theme was “A Frigid Place Gets a Blast from Space”.  We mainly took pictures of the best ones which are from the fraternity division. But towards the beginning, we included some shots of the smaller sculptures as well.  Enjoy! 

These are what flowers in the U.P. look like.

It’s amazing because even the lettering must be made of water/ice/snow!

The title of this one is “Our God Created Time & Space and Through His Son Showed Us His Grace”

This one was by the Sound Engineering Society.  Lots of sound.
 
Aliens playing a popular Tech sport – Broom Ball!

Buzz Light Year and friends…

Okay, now for the good ones:

Man on the Moon – 3rd place fraternity division

An Alien City – 2nd Place

And finally, the frat that took the 1st Place Title for 2 years in a row…

They portrayed the movie “Men In Black”.

Life size street light made of ice.  Broadway & Fifth Street.

Little ice figurines of objects/characters from the movie.

Pizza box

Alien eating pizza and if you look closely, they actually had a piece of pizza in his see-through stomach too!

Orion, the cat

It was amazing.  And how they create such masterpieces is kept secret.
