Legendary snow statues exemplify icy engineering.
Snow statues, of course. At the end of January every year, Michigan Tech puts on a week-long winter festival called Winter Carnival. Winter Carnival at Michigan Tech is nationally known, and approximately 3,000 tourists come to Houghton each year to experience this spectacular sight. Different fraternities, sororities, residence halls, and student and community organizations compete against each other for the best snow statue. If you have never seen these statues, let me paint you a picture.
