Snow festival in Sapporo Japan

I got a nice travel idea from the JAL (Japan Airlines) newsletter the other day. It's about the snow festival in Sapporo. Apparently snow and ice sculptures are built all over and some of them are really huge and/or intricate. I found nice pictures of the snow sculptures and information about the festival. My Lonely Planet Japan says that hotels can fill up during the snow festival, so If you're going to plan a trip, better make reservations soon. My wife and I thought about it, but we're thinking we'll go somewhere warm this winter...
