Dozens of snow sculptures of King Kong, Psy and other recognizable figures and landmarks present picture-perfect photo opportunities. Slides cut through the ice, igloos and sledding opportunities are family friendly activities available, and those worn out from a day of picture taking and crawling in and out of ice structure can settle down near a wood-fired oven and chomp down on grilled beef, pork, potatoes and yams, and other regional delicacies.
