Cave Lake Snow and Ice Sculpture Competition
January 15 through 17, 2016
Cave Lake State Park is the location for the Snow and Ice Sculpture Competition that takes place each January.
Contestants have two days to build their entries for the judging that takes place Sunday afternoon.
Lack of scow prevented the 2015 event, but the 2014 White Pine Fire and Ice Festival was wonderful and 2016 promises to be great. In addition to the ice sculptures, also enjoy food, ice bowling, golf, sledding, skating, and ice fishing both Saturday and Sunday. The fireworks over the lake on Sunday evening top off a great day in the high mountain desert area of eastern Nevada.
All sculptures must be completed by 3 p.m. on Sunday with the winners announced that evening at 6 p.m. right before the fireworks show. The first prize winner will receive a grand prize of $1,000. Second place will receive $500 and third place $250.
