The Jamaican bobsledding team of snow-sculpting

Kenya's snow-sculpting team (only one of whom has ever seen snow) is headed to Quebec to compete in the "Olypmics of snow-sculpting."

Although they've been practising in Kenya, their first attempt to sculpt snow will be in Quebec. They've had to make do with ice, also a challenging find in an area where people wear T-shirts in January. They approached the Stanley Hotel -- a storied Nairobi landmark where Ernest Hemingway used to quaff beer after the hunt -- and asked whether they could borrow some big blocks of ice.
