Thanks so much everyone, this is awesome…

I think this should become a community event. Get the entire community to build an annual “Snowzilla” just like putting up a Christmas tree in the town square. Something like this can bring the community together to celebrate the season. It’s not religious, it is just good will. No fees, no permits needed. We need more good spirit, friendship, good will toward all including snowmen. Maybe make it a contest or a fundraiser fro charity?

Where I live we put up a big decorated tree in the town square, have plenty of snowmen all over town, Santa parade, everything. Bell ringers for charity. All kinds of things and never any permits needed. Even the mayor and city councilors show up!

That’s my 2 cents!

Snowzilla is awsome! Someone should seriously let the town’s mayor know that Snowzilla is helping put Ankorage on the map GLOBALLY - most people here just knew it was some frigid place in Alaska!!! Go Snowzilla!!!!

You know we don’t get snow here, but I have to say that there is no logical reason why people should be crying over what one person does on his property so long as it isn’t endangering anyone’s life or property. So what the guy wants to make a giant snowman, what else would you do with all that snow anyhow? I think it’s great that he and his family actually took the time out to use their imaginations and created something that gives people holiday cheer. If only the rest of the country would follow in this footsteps.

Good idea, Susan, except I don’t believe this is about Snowzilla at all. It’s just the most recent in a long line of problems that the city has had with Mr. Powers. And, apparently, the city thought it would be one that they could actually take care of easily enough for once.

Boy, were they wrong! As Sarena says, they could have made this a great P.R. move but they are so focused on getting Mr. Powers on one thing or another, that they’ve missed that opportunity.

The funny thing is: I live next to a guy who’s illegally used his 5 acres as a dumping ground for hazardous building material (was forced to clean it up), storage for junk cars, parts sales, parking of old trailers, parts of semis, barrels of oil storage…you name it, it’s there and looks like h**l. I hate it. Everyone hates it.

If I was Billy Powers’ neighbor and his property looked like my real neighbors, I’d want it cleaned up. But, I sure wouldn’t care if he built a huge, super cool snowman there.

I photographed these Little Zillas early on their birthday morning before some Grinchy Anchorage City Hall Security Guard kicked ‘em to the curb. Talk about NO IMAGININATION or sense of humor! If the Grinch in question had a brain, he/she’d have flipped the signs over and written a few opposing messages on their back sides. Then the Little Zillas could have remained in place and posed as City Workers for the holidays. Bah humbug Anchorage City Hall!

You know, I am tired of all these whiner’s too! American’s cannot even have fun anymore. We are regulated
and taxed to death. We are letting these commie politicians dictate all facets of our lives. I say let that police state Mayor sue GOD! He is the one who is responsible for the snow! Power is with Snowzilla and the people. It is about time for the second American revolution!!

P!O! in Illinois home of the most corrupt politicians. Breeding ground of the Abomination!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snowzilla ROCKS!!! What a fantastic draw for the city and state! Maybe Gov. Palin could save Snowzilla by declaring him an endangered species? Good Luck!!!

I was thinking the same thing as Susan. There is no reason the city could not let him build it in a park, or in a shopping district - I’ll bet they would LOVE some extra traffic! I think it could be a good PR move if the city let Powers build in a park, and then turned it into a city-wide contest. Sell entry forms for most creative snowman. Snowzilla could be the center piece, ineligible for a prize, but other small snow people could be. Charge an admission fee, etc. They’re losing out on $$ here.

I totally agree with Susan too. It sounds really cool, but Powers shouldn’t be punished for others taking an interest in his creation. Obviously not every day do you get to see a gigantic snowman. Put it up in a park so everyone including little children are able to enjoy it individuality.

Here’s to Snowzilla. We’re from NC so we wish we had the snow to make our own Snowzilla. Here’s hoping the powers that be in Anchorage will lighten up.

I cannot believe the courts and cops in Alaska have nothing better to do.
I guess there are NO criminals up there, they have rid the entire state of All drug dealers, child molesters, grandma rapers, theifs, and worthless state officials. Thats right, you all up there have that dumb chick, Sara who?
Leave the snowman alone, and find some other way to get your man.
And I just love snowzillas distant cousin, sandzilla from Florida…..
But be careful, Sandzilla looks as if he’s got a bit too much color……is he Jamacian?

This is ridiculous. With all the negitivity in the world today. then someone tries to spread some joy and then here comes the Grinch (who hasn’t grown a heart yet) to ruin the day. This Christmas was on record for one of the poorest Christmases, God forbid someone tries to spread a little Christmas cheer.

No matter what you believe or what religon you are this time of year is for joy, thanks, love, friends and family. I wish Billy and Snowzilla the best of luck.

I 100% agree with Susan. Anchorage has effectively taken what could be a very positive city PR activity and turned it back on themselves to make them look like a bunch of idiots with nothing better to do. They should instead encourage Mr. Powers to build him in a city park and give their blessings, turning it into a community event.
