Worlds largest snow woman in Bethel Maine

[loafer89]

Warren and I took the advise of the owners of the motel we stayed in to check out the worlds largest snow woman in Bethel and we did just that on saturday night right after the end of the snowstorm. She stands 122' 1" tall:

freakin' scarey. Wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley

The Snow Woman is very visible from the Mt. Abram chair lift. Bethel is a few miles from Mt. Abram but it is quite a remarkable sight... as nothing in Bethel is that tall of course!

The town was still in the construction process when we drove past her last month and they were bringing in snow from all over town. Now they have entirely too much snow

We saw her this past weekend - wow. The arms are full-sized trees and the eyelashes are skis.

I'll bet security has been involved to keep her anatomically incorrect.

That is SO funny. I hope can see it for real.

Of course, there is official web site for it and their blog has lots of picture for the whole construction of that beast^H^H^H^H^Hbeauty.

Yeah I drove by that Thursday. I'm so stupid I didn't even notice it until I wondered what all the people on the side of the road were looking at.

I am not sure what that is but it ain't no women. Looks to me like a really bad cross dresser. :blink: Doesn't anyone in Maine study anatomy. It needs some Italian artistic expression or something.

Just for reference. This is a women

Thanks for the pic. Been hearing about it but as they say......a picture is worth a thousand words. Assume she is looking abit drab today tho.

What's going to happen in late spring when the thing starts to melt..could it possibly collapse..Do you think it will last most of the summer??

If I was from Massatwoshitz I'd say it was "Wicked" awesome..lol

Looking okay on the live webcam despite the clouds and, er, unfrozen precip...

Apparently her name is "Olympia", after Maine senator Olympia Snowe. She takes the tallest snowperson record from "Angus, King of the Mountain" which was also built in Bethel in 1999 and named after then-governor Angus King.
Here is a photo of Angus.

Your kidding...right? I would figure it would be lucky to make it to Memorial Day.

I hope the Mainers here will back me up when I say that "wicked" is a term from Maine not Mass. :lol:

 

[andyzee]

Yep, sure looks like a Maine woman :lol:

Angus in 1999 had an official "melt date" of June 10.

Poor snow woman. Every woman wants at least a little bit of boobage... doesn't feel quite right without them.

It has staging supporting it inside.

 

[SIKSKIER]

Some sort of time lapse of the melt would be cool err warm?

I can't believe no one's made this comment yet:

I bet she's frigid.

I guess no one else thought of sleeping with a mound of snow...

That would be a step up from some of my previous relationships.
