Forget snowmen - check out this snowoman!

“Olympia,” the giant snowwoman, towers over the town and can be seen from miles away in Bethel, Maine.

The name honors Maine's senior Sen. Olympia Snowe.









Olympia rises 122 feet and one inch, which beats the old record of 114 feet.

The third photo shows how the layers were built up to form Olympia.

Her eyelashes were made from discarded skis and bright red lips made from painted car tires.

She wears a giant red hat and a 100-foot-long scarf, and her blond tresses are made from rope.

She gets a little bling from a snowflake pendant that's 6 feet long.
