Make a concise location description of a chilling scene outside of a mountain with a pit, berm, ice quarry, and sculptured snow.

The remains of the ice quarry operation, shut down long ago by avalanches crashing down from the mountainsides, are visible here. A tall berm has been constructed along the outer edge of the pit, blocking and rerouting the dangerous falls. Some enterprising group has created a neighborhood that circles what remains of the operation, turning the dangerous area into an attraction of sculptured snow.
