A Snow Gauge Reimagined as Art
Set in the plaza at the base of Winter Park Resort, this carved wooden stake is part of the "There Is Snow On The Ground" installation. Its surface is emblazoned with patterns created by Indigenous artists Jordan Craig and Vernan Kee, turning a simple measuring tool into a piece of public art.
Reading the Mountain's Snowpack
Marked with a numbered scale, the stake gives skiers and staff a quick visual read of accumulated snowfall at the base area throughout the season, a tradition at mountain resorts across Colorado's high country.
Land, Culture, and Connection
Beyond its practical role, the installation is meant to spark conversation about land, climate, and ecosystems, honoring the ways Indigenous communities have long related to the mountains and the snow that defines them.
