Simon Cowell Looms Large Over Ischgl
Published : 02-Feb-2015 08:08
A giant snow sculpture of the infamous new music talent critic Simon Cowell is looming large over the slopes of Ischgl in Austria's Tirol at present.
This is not the actual Mr Cowell, but a snow sculpture replica of the famous man's head, carved from a 4m block of snow.
The smiling snow sculpture is the work of English brothers Justin and Simon Scott, who have taken part in the resort's Shapes In White snow sculpture exhibition 11 times out of the 22 years it has been held.
This winter's contest was themed on 'Casting Shows' and the Scott brothers were one of ten two-man teams to take part in the exhibition.
Ischgl is quite a change of scene for gardener and tree surgeon Justin, from Driffield in Yorkshire, and Simon, a sales director from Acle in Norfolk.
"We enjoy taking part," said Justin. "The hospitality in Ischgl is fantastic."
The snow sculptures will remain in place for as long as it remains cold enough, and Ischgl has a very long season lasting another four months to the start of May. ischgl.com
