If your looking for a short getaway from Denver, how about going to see the snow sculptures in Breckenridge. I had a couple of friends go last weekend and they said it was amazing. After seeing pictures, I want to go.

And the winner is...
This year's first place winner of both the Artist's and People's Choice Awards was Team Mongolia, whose "Mongolian Warriors" sculpture depicted life-like 13th-century warriors and their horses striding out of a solid 20-ton block base of snow.
