Snow rollers can be ball-like or noodle-shaped. As long as they’re cylindrical with a hollow center they earn the name. Image by WikiCommons

The frosty doughnuts above are a rare, natural phenomena called snow rollers. Gravity or wind sets the snow roller creation in motion. Just like making a good snow ball, the snow must be slightly wet to stick. Image by Gord Campbell.

The snow spikes above, called penitentes, are naturally formed. They can occur anywhere there’s snow and sun but are seen most often high in the mountains. Penitentes are made when the sun hits a snow field and causes the snow to transform directly to vapor, skipping the liquid stage. Image by DreamX.
