VIDEO: This Game of Thrones ‘snow art’ is a sure sign that winter is coming

Tony Cuddihy

This is magnificent.

Snow artist Simon Beck has created a massive tribute to Game of Thrones ahead of the start of the sixth series on 25 April.

Walking all day and all night, through 32.5 kilometres of heavy Alpine snow, with just a compass as his guide, snow artist Beck’s 64,800 footsteps emblazoned the sigil of the show’s House of Stark across the Alps, creating snow art the size of 2.5 football pitches.

He chose the Stark sigil as a tribute to… A very well know character.

(We’d be very surprised if you couldn’t make the connection.)

This really is spectacular, and you can see the scale of Beck’s work as the camera pans out towards the end.
