NH Sanctioned & Jackson Invitational Snow Sculpting Competition

Friday-Sunday, January 30 – February 1, 2026

This Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce event will be held at Great Glen Trails/Mt. Washington Auto Road again this year. This fabulous location offers guests/visitors not only great cross-country skiing, tubing, and snow coach rides but creates an incredible background for the viewing of all our sculpting pieces.  Check back soon for lots more details as to all the fun that will go with this exciting new experience and venue.  This event may rotate venues as the years progress.  

The event begins on Friday, January 30, at noon with teams from all over the Northeastern part of the United States. The team will sculpt throughout the weekend and finish at noon on Sunday, February 1, 2026.

Spectators are welcome to view the entire process but are urged to return on Sunday for the finished displays!

See firsthand how our sculptors take 8-foot-high by 4-foot-round cylinders of compacted snow and create incredible art frozen in time.  This year, we expect at least 12 Teams with 4 NH-sanctioned teams.

Sculpting pieces usually remain available for viewing for at least a week after the event giving visitors ample time to get coveted photos. Please be aware that weather is a factor and we can not guarantee how long the snow sculptures will remain. The sculptures will be lit at night for an entirely different perspective.

Bring the entire family!

Consider one of my favorite annual to-dos… the Mt Washington Snow Coach… this is a must-do for me each and every year.  Bring the camera and enjoy all the eye candy! Do not miss this opportunity… book as soon as you can, they fill up quickly!
