Also, you can\u2019t apply to compete, as it is completely invitation only. This will be our second trip up to the Yukon. I should mention that Kim Strange is coming up with us this year. This will be his first carve since last years\u2019 painful ice-block in Quebec City.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frostytidbits.com\/?attachment_id=594\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-594\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-594 size-medium\" title=\"whitehorseflight\" src=\"https:\/\/frostytidbits.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/whitehorseflight-300x159.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frostytidbits.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/whitehorseflight-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frostytidbits.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/whitehorseflight.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frostytidbits.com\/?attachment_id=593\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-593\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-593 size-medium\" title=\"theressa_sleeping_plane\" src=\"https:\/\/frostytidbits.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/theressa_sleeping_plane-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frostytidbits.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/theressa_sleeping_plane-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/frostytidbits.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/theressa_sleeping_plane.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a>The Swiss team arrived on the same plane as us and one of them was overheard asking where to buy more WARM clothing.<\/p>\n<p>We just got back from the meet-n-greet with the other sculptors. It was very informal and very relaxed. They do things a wee bit different up here in regards to the drawing of the blocks. Teams were drawn out of a hat and they had to go up and pick a block. We decided on block #4 because we believe that it is in the right location for the sun creating shadows.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it folks.
