International Snow Sculpture Championships
January 24th - February 3rd, 2026
Breckenridge’s International Snow Sculpture Championships is back! This is a world-renowned snow sculpting competition where teams from around the world descend on Breckenridge to hand-carve 25-ton blocks of snow into enormous, intricate works of art. Artists are only allowed to use hand tools, creativity and inspiration to bring their ideas to life. No power tools allowed! Teams sculpt countless hours across five days (totaling around 94 hours), resulting in a temporary outdoor art gallery in historic downtown Breckenridge!
We are lucky enough to host some of the teams every year so if you stay here at Beaver Run you will have the possibility of running into one of the International Teams! Town is very busy during this event and things book up FAST, so make sure to make a reservation while you still can!
