In Bethel, Maine, a snowman was constructed, reaching a height of 122 feet, making it the tallest in the world.
Since February 26, 2008, the giant snowwoman, Olympia, has held the record.
The snowwoman may be melted but the record still stands.
For approximately 25 years, the residents of Bethel, Maine, have maintained their position as proud holders of a world record.
The tallest snowperson ever constructed, as per Guinness World Records, was completed on February 26, 2008 in Bethel.
The snowwoman, Olympia, was completed by the residents of Bethel in about a month. They had previously set a record with a giant snowperson in 2008.
The first snowman in Bethel, named Angus King of the Mountain, was created in 1999 and was named after the governor of Maine at the time, Angus King.
In 2008, the people of Bethel gathered to surpass their previous achievement.
According to Guinness World Records, the snow structure in Olympia measured 122 feet and 1 inch tall when it was completed.
A snowwoman, named after a Maine U.S. senator, was constructed using an enormous amount of snow.
Large construction trucks are carrying piles of snow in a video on the Guinness World Record's page, with cranes lifting the snow to the top of the chilly creation.
The snowwoman's accessories were made from skis for eyelashes, chicken wire and painted cheesecloth for the nose, and red car tires for the lips.
The snowwoman's buttons were crafted from three truck tires, while her arms were constructed from 30-foot-tall spruce trees.
Despite the melting of the snowwoman, the title in Bethel remains valid, as per Guinness World Records.
The world's tallest snowperson title has been contested by others besides the Olympia snowwoman in Bethel, according to Guinness World Records.
In February 2020, a snowman named Riesi in Donnersbachwald, Austria, appeared to break the record.
Several outlets reported that the snowman constructed in Austria surpassed Olympia's height, with a difference of a few feet.
The Guinness World Record website declares Olympia as the record holder today.
The snowman constructed in Austria was disqualified without explanation, as stated on the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce's website.
The Chamber of Commerce was informed that if it's recorded in the book, they still have the record, according to their website.
