White Pine Fire and Ice Show 2007

ELY, Nev.—What has quickly become a national event, the White Pine Fire and Ice Show, now in its third year, is a highly visual, two-day snow- and ice-sculpture competition followed by a fireworks display over a frozen, high-desert lake.

The event was held January 13 and 14 at Cave Lake State Park, 15 miles southeast of Ely.

The family oriented snow- and ice-sculptures stand up to 12-feet tall. While ice and snow can be brought to the lake for the event, all formations are created on site. The 2006 winner was a sculpture of a 27-foot-wide, big-horn sheep skull created by Jason McNutt of Ely.

Other activities throughout the weekend include skiing, snowmobiling, ice-skating, ice fishing and the firing of a historic Nevada cannon.

The White Pine Fire and Ice Show is sponsored by White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Board, the Nevada Commission on Tourism and the Nevada Division of State Parks.
