Steamboat's annual snow drawing event returned to The Nature Conservancy's Carpenter Ranch for a third year on January 27, 2019. This is a community art project open to the public, coordinated by the Bud Werner Memorial Library in Steamboat Springs, CO. The 2019 design was inspired by words. Artists used their snowshoe-clad feet as pencils to write an inspiring story in the snow. All actual words on display over the hay meadow were imagined and executed by community artists. They chose their words carefully, with instructions to pick a positive word (or short expression) inspired by our wild Yampa Valley environment.
