Not exactly your backyard snowman. This is a creation that throws a challenge to anyone/community that thinks they have the corner on large scale snow creations.
The "snowwoman" towering over this village features eyelashes created from discarded skis and bright red lips made from painted car tires. She wears a giant red hat and a 100-foot-long scarf, and her blond tresses are made from rope. She gets a little bling from a snowflake pendant that's 6 feet long.
It took more than a month, dozens of volunteers and tons of snow to create Olympia . Jim Sysko, a civil engineer, oversaw design and construction.
To get an idea of scale, Olympia is about 30 feet shorter than the Statue of Liberty (without the base). Her arms consist of 27-foot-tall evergreens.
Her "carrot" nose, painted by schoolchildren, is 8 feet long. Her eyes are made from giant wreaths.
