Winterlude in Québec
On a cold, cold day, I crossed the bridge and went to check out Winterlude’s celebrations in Québec. Jacques Cartier Park had been turned into a winter amusement park, complete with the ubiquitous beavertails’ snack booths and giant snow slides.
Ottawa has ice sculptures, Québec has giant snow ones. The theme of the national Snow Sculpture Competition for this year was “winter fun”. Each team was given a huge 3.7 m x 4.9 m block of snow and beautiful winter themed art pieces were created.
You can see the full set of the pictures taken during Winterlude 2010 here.

Can you imagine me wearing them in London when we have snow?
I am sure everybody will stare at me like a freak?! Ha ha…
I heard that people in Moscow always have attachable snow shoe soles in their bags!!

We do have maple syrup here but they are not so popular (yet!).
Have you tried golden syrup? It’s the British equivalence to Canadian maple syrup.

So creative and so much fun there
The snow sculpture is cool. How do you get a solid block of snow like that. I thought snow was soft. Clearly I am not an expert of snow.
