In his first trip to North America, the British snow artist was invited by Banff Lake Louise Tourism to create a series of large-scale designs in snow. Beck has been making snowflakes, leaves and geometric designs with his snowshoes for the past decade, mostly in the Alps.
He stomped out a huge snowflake at Peyto Lake in the Canadian Rockies that took more than six hours and measured 1,476 feet from tip to tip, according to a statement. As an added touch, the outline was illuminated by LED lights.
“We were all excited to see what amazing drawings Simon could create, with Banff National Park as the backdrop, and we were more than impressed,” Kymberley Hill of the tourism agency said. “His work was spectacular and to see it framed by our natural alpine landscape of mountain peaks was incredible.”
He also made a howling wolf at Lake Louise Ski Resort and a maple leaf at Sunshine Village as part of what’s known as the #ProjectSnow art series.
