When Simon Beck (https://www.facebook.com/snowart8848/photos) walks in the snow, he leaves tracks to remember.
Beck creates giant murals as he trudges through the white stuff in his snowshoes.
"It started as a bit of fun, but gradually, it's taken over my life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqCZTfonTNw)," he says in the video above posted by Great Big Story.
For one of his bigger works, Beck says he might spend two hours measuring his piece and 8 hours walking. That's about 40,000 steps for him.
Beck says on his Facebook page that his designs are based "on the world of geometry or 'crop circles.' (https://www.facebook.com/snowart8848/info/?tab=page_info)"
He makes about 30 snow drawings per year (http://www.theguardian.com/science/alexs-adventures-in-numberland/gallery/2014/nov/06/simon-becks-snow-art-landscapes-mathematical-designs-drawings-alps#img-1), with the Alps serving as his main canvas (http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/02/27/simon-beck-snow-art-alberta_n_6769694.html), according to a previous report.
At least when this guy walks in circles, he really gets somewhere.
