SNOWSHOE, W.Va. — Tucked inside a stand of fir trees at Snowshoe Mountain Resort, at the head of a trail near Shavers Lake, is a breathtaking and thought-provoking sculpture titled “Heart of the Mountain.”
The sculpture was dedicated last Friday with the help of its creator, Jamie Lester, of Oceana, and members of the Snowshoe Sustainable Action Committee.
Snowshoe’s parent company, Alterra, commissioned the sculpture and Lester brought forth the company’s vision with his steel and fiberglass piece.
“Alterra wanted to do a piece about global warming and how it affects everybody, how it affects the Earth even more,” Lester said. “We just wanted to make a statement about that. It’s tough to do that in sculpture form, but what I came up with was a figurative solution with a personification of Mother Nature.”
