Happy Groundhog Day!
Happy Groundhog Day to everyone who celebrates!
Thanks Phil! See you Punxsutawney/Gobblers Knob.
Not actual footage from today/this year. Just to spread the message! I did watch it nevertheless.
"COME AND TAKE IT" I'm screaming
This day has vanished (leapt) and is not to be seen until the next leap year which will be 2028. I might wait for it, all through February. The joy I felt last year to have an extra day... Until further notice we are doing "regular". Hang in there my leaplings! Your birthday is postponed, not forgotten. Has anyone watched eg Leap Year with Amy Addams and Matthew Goode on last years leap day (not gonna spoil for those who haven´t seen or heard of it at all - if you wanna know something regarding the plot give search engines work).
FYI:
Hope everybodys first month of 2025 was (is) okay…
Since its Snow Sculpting Week.
Are you participating? Have done it at least once? What have you made? Care to give a peek?
Wishing you and your beloved ones a healthy, prosperous and joyous year ahead.

“Formen in Weiss” is an integral part of the winter season in Ischgl and combines art and nature in a unique way. This year’s motto “Summer in Ischgl” promises exciting interpretations and new perspectives on the connection between summer and winter. The event is a special highlight for art lovers and winter sports enthusiasts and a reason to visit the Silvretta Arena.
For more than three decades, the “Formen in Weiss” competition has been one of the cultural highlights of winter in Ischgl. International artists create impressive sculptures from snow that can be up to five metres high. The participants have five days to create their works of art, which can then be seen in the Silvretta Arena until spring. For the implementation of the event, artists from different countries are invited to submit their ideas and concepts. The selection of participants and their designs is made by a jury. The competition not only promotes the engagement with an unusual material, but also offers an international platform for creative exchange and cultural diversity.
This year’s motto “Summer in Ischgl” focuses on contrasts. The artists interpret the summer aspects of the region, such as alpine landscapes, sports activities and the diversity of the mountain flora, in winter environment. The snow sculptures are intended to convey the atmosphere and sports of the summer and at the same time explore the artistic possibilities of snow as material. The snow sculptures will be presented along the slopes in the Silvretta Arena ski area. Skiers and pedestrians can visit the artworks with a valid ski ticket. The region's snow guarantees that the sculptures will be preserved until the end of April under appropriate rainfall conditions and can be admired throughout the winter season.

Happy looking through! Have you heard of this event? Maybe you pay Ischgl a visit someday to see them in real life?
Note: Not all of the photos are from this year. I just wanted to give a general overview of what "Formen in Weiß" is all about and the different kinds of stunning sculptures people from different countries come up with. The motto changes yearly. I am curious what motto they choose for 2026.
