About our team

Team ND Snow Sculpting consists of Jay Ray, Mike Nelson and Josh Zeis. The team has been carving together for about 3 years after competing head to head for many years prior. Since making their debut at the National Snow Sculpting Competition in Lake Geneva WI the group has been featured at several events, and making waves across the snow carving spectrum. Although the team originally came together for the purpose of competition, they have opened up their love of epic snow carving for commissions, which fill up fast seasonally.

However, the holidays are a time of hope. The Santa Run sends a positive message of hope to those dealing with addiction. Amidst the darkness of addiction, there are many success stories and the Santa Run will celebrate those successes.

  • Bee Fresh Bin Sanitation

Hold your breath no more! Bee Fresh Bin Sanitation will restore your bins using our thorough cleaning, disinfecting and deodorizing process!

    Without the use of their industrial pressure washer, our snow making production would be laughable!
