Description
Larry Andreoff (captain & designer), Ted Griffiths and myself created this snow sculpture in Whitehorse, Yukon during the 2004 Whitehorse Sourdough Rendezvous. It is a ...white horse. The city was named after the Whitehorse rapids which slew many a gold panner and explorer.Related content

What would be more appropriate than a white horse? Makes my fingers burn with cold just to look at though!Brings back fond memories of building snow men and snow forts as a kid- but never anything this cool.

Cool! Was this done this year?
I don't recall seeing it.. It must have been last year. I didn't get around to seeing them all last year, so this is pretty cool. I love the idea of a white horse in Whitehorse, it's just funny to me.
I love how the mane is really angled and chunky, same with the snow around it.. You guys have got an awesome style. I love making snow sculptures.. Or trying at least. Anyway, I really like it cause it's not totally smooth, it's blocky? Not sure if there's a word for that, but i really like it.

This year our team created 2 mermaids, called "Pisces". I thought it was the best, but the public didn't agree.

Did you see it this year? It was a tough choice for the public to pick the winner.

I recognize this building. I went there for the Arctic Winter Games in 2000. Keep going back now every now and again to visit my friend Kels. How is it up there now a days?

My only experiences ther have been a week here, a week there during winter. My latest visit there was last month, and it was wonderful, as always, but too brief. Cold environment, warm people.

very warm people indeed! I will totally agree with that. Well Im glad you liked your stay 
I was always adopted as an honorary member of the Yukon team when I got with them. So yah. Good memories all around

Yes, the base is sculpted as well, to look like waves, or rapids.

Great piece! Miss you and hope you're busy winning your competition--with stuff like this, it's a gimme....

this is beautiful..i love the very angular curves that make up the detail of the horse and the shadows make this even more interesting
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ah - this deviates from your usual line of abstractness
Impressive. I really like the mane (sp?... sorry, not big when it comes to horse stuff) and how the light hits it.
How long do things like that usually take you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mane is spelled correctly.
This took three people three days to carve.

Yeah, there is snow in winter ... it's just a bit of drive to get to from where I am ... about 5 days non-stop driving in fact.

I actually didn't know why the city was called Whitehorse. Thank you for that brief history!
Very creative sculpture! I love the lines in it, especially the head. I also like your idea of doing a white horse for Whitehorse. Brilliant! I've always wanted to go to Yukon...

Yukon is awesome! I', about to go there again to do another snow sculpture. This time....a dinosaur!

The hair on the back of the neck seems too contrastive with the geometric approach to the rest of the body. Nice scratches. I like the legs and the neck most. The whole looks more like a pony, not expansive enough, sort of compressed, shrinked. A bit cartoony proportions.

wow! very different from what we usually get to see from you; but it's interesting

Awesome job! There needs to be more snow sculptures posted here on DA
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree! I take that on as my responsibility. I'll be doing three that I am aware of this season.

wow thats quite cool and a tinge cubist. how bout giving a bit more info like how big how long how come. and yet another ponder of yonder... do you take one picture or take a ton as you move around the sculpture? would be nice to see it in the round if possible. well done!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do have a few other pictures in the round. I'll try to create one large gallery pic. How big-10 ft tall by 8ft deep by 10 feet long. How long..3 days to carve with three people. How come....just because we can.
