So Sun Valley hires these super talented guys to do ice sculptures in the village during the holidays. When Megan first saw the guys setting up shop and getting ready to sculpt, she was immediately fascinated. Of course she went right up to them, asked them what they were doing, and had all kinds of questions about it. Needless to say, we got to be pretty friendly with them and checked on their progress several times a day while they were there. They told me that they have a machine that makes the ice blocks they use to carve these. Once machine makes four big blocks of ice at a time. In order to have enough blocks for the Sun Valley ice sculptures, they start making them in April. Then they put them in cardboard boxes that fit them exactly and keep them frozen. They also told me a bunch of ideas they have for next year's sculptures. Clearly, they plan ahead.
Here is one of the guys working on a reindeer sculpture.

Megan with the ice Christmas tree that had real ornaments set into it.
This one is my favorite--a giant ice throne.
Check out this eagle! Seriously, these guys are awesome.
