Why limit yourself to a simple snowman, when you can build a pirate ship instead? The Dartmouth Winter Carnival has such a ship as their centerpiece in the snow sculpting competition this year:
The structure surpasses previous sculptures in size, towering between 50 to 55 feet and spanning 18 feet wide. The mainmast stands 56 feet high, and the foremast stands 52 feet high. Sketches for the ship began in early December, as Eric Clum '08 and Lucas Schlumtz '08 designed various structural parts for use in the ship's construction.

The snow boat is designed with steps up the stern and a removable slide on its side. It will be open to the public throughout the weekend.
Check out the picture; it is absolutely astounding. They started construction in January. Now that's dedication.
