Simon photographs his work and posts the photos on Facebook where he has a large and fast growing group of fans and admirers.
Taken from above and in certain lights there is a mystical and breath-taking quality to the sight of the sophisticated and elaborate snow art displays. It is incredible to think that a lone artist walking miles alone in the snow with just a compass and a design on paper can create such beautiful and enormous images. Even more inctedible is that when snow falls the patterns will be covered and lost from sight.
Simon says that his neighbours in Les Arcs at first thought him “a bit mad” but these days his snow art is creating huge publicity for the resort as his fame has grown and he has become a local celebrity.
