Pioneer Monument in Donner Memorial State Park. NW Lake Tahoe
The pedestal of the Pioneer Monument in Donner Memorial State Park is 22-feet high to commemorate the 22-feet of snow that thwarted the Donner Party’s passage over the Sierras. The gruesome winter suffered by the Donner Party caused nearly half the group to perish with many survivors resorting to cannibalism for survival.

There are a number of shrines on Aspen Mountain. For example, there's one for Jerry Garcia, one for John Denver, one for Jimi Hendrix. Lots more, too.

The Sasquatch made of rusted chains that turns into Yeti in the snow:
(Also, Potatello isn't a ski town).
