The Snow Show project involved the construction of 17 snow and ice installations in Rovaniemi and Kemi. The process was extremely demanding, due to the tight schedule, the sheer amount of work, changes in temperature from -35 to +6 degrees Celsius as well as the high quality requirements set for the finished pieces.
