The Fastest Way Down The Slope

 More of the large bas relief snow sculpture today marking the centennial of the RCAF.


Looking at it from further back reinforces how big it is.


This sculpture I couldn't really get a good look at- it was in an area being used for an activity. I am reminded of Canadian Shield rock- and it looks like there's a wolf family in there too.


Over beyond, options for a snack include Beavertails- that flat fried pastry that's a staple here, and covered with a variety of options.


A wall of snow here includes large sized photographs to mark the quarter century since the organization of Nunavut.


Back around the far side of the mound, with the line to go in seen here.

  3. 💜 the sculpture that reminds you of Canadian Shield rock along with what looks like a wolf! I have not knowingly seen a wolf in nature but have encountered many coyotes.

  4. Two iconic Canadian foods are beaver tails and poutine, both readily available where you live.

  7. The snow must be an interesting medium to sculpt in. Mistakes could be easily fixed I guess.

  8. The snow hill would be absolute chaos if they didn't have strict control.

  11. You documented great ways to use snow. The snow sculptures are huge, and good they honor the RCAF.

  12. I am reminded that the mobile beavertails truck is going to pay our town a visit in the near future. I can't remember when, though.

    1. I have to get out to the one at City Hall. There's the permanent one in the Market, but they only do debit.
