Abaculi bahlabela eBreck ukuze baqhubekele ukuqhutshelwa kobuqhawe bamazwe ngamazwe
Kuwukubonakaliswa okukhulu kwezwe kwemidwebo yeqhwa. Futhi yehla njalo ebusika eBreckenridge, Colorado.
Cabanga ngamabhuloki angu-12-ubude, amabhlodi angu-20 no-ton weqhwa ahlotshiswe abantu, izilwane, izifanekiso ezingabonakali. I-whole-white castle wonderland. Izindlovu nezitimela kanye noBuddha nezilokwane. Konke kwenziwa ngokuphelele eqhweni nangesandla. Awekho amathuluzi wamandla avunyelwe.
Lezi zithombe zesikhashana zemibukiso yezobuciko zangaphandle ziyingxenye yemidwebo yemabula yemidwebo yemabula nemidwebo yamatshe emhlabeni jikelele.
Engeza lokhu kuhlu lwakho lwamabhakede izinto ezibucayi kuphela-e-Colorado okufanele uzibone ukukholelwa.
Ngomhlaka-Januwari odlule ngokuvamile ukhahlela i-International Snow Sculpture Championships yaminyaka yonke, ehlanganisa amaqembu aphezulu angu-16 noma ngaphezulu avela emhlabeni wonke ukubona ukuthi ubani ongakwazi ukudweba indalo ehlaba umxhwele kakhulu eqhweni. Izivakashi zingabuka ukudweba umuntu ngezinsuku eziningana kuze kube yilapho amaphrojekthi egoqa bese kuvota kuvulwa.
Abaculi banamahora angu-65 nje kuphela ukugijima ukuze baphumelele umbono wabo, kusukela ku-snowball kuya ekuvekeni. Ubusuku bokugcina bokudweba buyaziwa ukuthi buhle kakhulu futhi buxakeke, njengoba abaculi behlambalaza ukuqedela ukuthinta kokugcina. Amathimba anqunyelwe kumalungu amane kuphela, futhi angase ahlukumeze, ngakho ngezinye izikhathi kufanele asebenze ekushintsheni.
Kungase futhi kukhishwe khona lapho eqhweni isikhathi eside, ngakho lezo zinguquko ziza ukusiza izinzwane neminwe ngaphambi kokuqala futhi. Ukushaya umkhuhlane kungaba enye yezinselele ezinkulu kubahlanganyeli ngoba ngokungafani nabagibeli be-skiers, abaculi abazitholi izinhliziyo zabo phezulu futhi basebenzela ukujuluka.
Nakuba ukukhwa kweqhwa kungahle kube ngokomzimba, kungadinga ukunakwa imininingwane, ukubekezela kanye nokucaciswa kobuciko.
Abaqhubi be-Snow Carving
I-Breckenridge ihlale ineqembu layo, kodwa amanye amaqembu angakwazi ukufaneleka kusuka emhlabeni jikelele. Izivakashi zingenza ivoti lokudalwa kwabo abathandayo kumncintiswano wePeoples Choice.
Abanqobile bakhethwa ukuqala, ukuklama, ikhono lobuchwepheshe, umsebenzi weqembu kanye nekhwalithi.
Abanqobile esikhathini esidlule bafaka umdwebo womkhumbi kaNowa "ohamba ngamafu" ngenhla kukazamcolo nomfanekiso wesithombe somama okuthiwa iThe Tempest. Bobabili baphefumulelwe imiyalezo ejulile mayelana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu nokugcina ukuthula phakathi kwezixuku.
Ngemuva kokuqala komncintiswano, lezi zithombe zizokhanya kakhulu ngesikhathi somkhosi omkhulu wokukhanyisa.
Izithombe ezikhanyayo zemibala ehlukahlukene zizohlala ziboniswa cishe cishe kwesinye isonto emva komncintiswano. Ngalobo busuku bokugcina, bazokhukhulwa njengomlingo njengoba kubonakala sengathi badalwe.
Lo mcimbi oyingqayizivele ukhulile ukuheha izivakashi ezivela emhlabeni jikelele (futhi abagibeli abadlula nje bajabulele ukumangala okuhle lapho befika eholidini).
Izinkundla ze-Snow Sculpture Championships zinezinye izenzakalo nemisebenzi ehlukahlukene kuwo wonke amasonto ambalwa, futhi. Izivakashi zingagxuma ngo-Thaw Lounge + Umculo ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana nenqubo yeqhwa yokuqopha nokuzihlanganisa, kanye nokuthatha izipho, amakhadi okuthunyelwe kanye nezinkomba zokugubha umcimbi. Qinisekisa ukuthi uhlela isikhathi esiningi ukuphequlula izibuko bese uletha ikhamera. Abangani bakho ekhaya ngeke bakholwe lezi zithombe zeqhwa.
Amaqiniso Okujabulisayo Ngomdlalo Weqhwa Lomdwebo
Sibheja ukuthi awuwazi le mininingwane ngomcimbi waminyaka yonke:
Izakhiwo ezinkulu zeqhwa zakhiwa ngesonto ngaphambi komncintiswano, ngakho-ke banesikhathi sokuhlehlisa nokupaka ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
Indawo yokubhuka yenza iqhwa emncintiswaneni - amathani angama-320 alo.
Amavolontiya "i-snow-stompers" asiza ukuhlanganisa futhi ukupaka iqhwa ngokuqinile ngaphakathi kwesikhunta sendawo.
Abaculi abakwazi ukusebenzisa noma yiluphi uhlobo lwamathuluzi wamandla, kodwa bangasebenzisa amathuluzi amandla, njengezinkezo, imimese, amafosholo, ama-saws, izinkukhu zokhukhu, ama-veggie peelers, amabhakede kanye namabhodlela okuphambanisa (okungasiza ngemininingwane emihle). Ezinye imininingwane zifakwe futhi ziqoshwe ngesandla (egqoke amagilavu afudumele agcwele izifudumala zesandla, yiqiniso).
Uma Uya
Ngokuvamile ungathola ukupaka mahhala kwiLottouse Lot, i-Barney Ford Lot, iLotter Street Lot kanye ne-Airport Road.
Kusuka lapho, ungathola ukuhamba mahhala kumcimbi ku-shuttle yomphakathi.
