A lack of snow has thrown some wrenches into the plan for the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan. This year, organizers had to source and tow snow from other towns as part of creating 200-plus signature snow sculptures for the event.
This year, among the sculptures on display inare a giant Ramen Cup Noodles and a 15-meter-tall and 20-meter-wide replica of the palace at Lazienki Park in Warsaw.
To make the sculptures, festival organizers use around 30,000 tons of snow from Sapporo. This year, they towed it in on trucks from dozens of places outside of Sapporo., a town around 60 kilometers away that is popular among tourists and locals for its ski slopes. But they still had to make some concessions this year. Among the casualties? The 100-meter-long snow slide was cut to 70 meters.
"We advised visitors to wear masks and use hand sanitizers, and [we] kept sanitizers on site," he added.A legacy of sculptures and snowball fights
