Epic 'Game of Thrones' snow art carved into mountainside

Some "Game of Thrones" fans have an over-the-top way of celebrating the new season.

One artistic fan headed up to the French Alps and spent 13 hours drawing a House Stark sigil into a hillside.

Simon Beck took nearly 65,000steps to draw the trademark direwolf and "Winter Is Coming" motto of the Starks. Sky Atlantic is the station that airs the show in Britain, and sent Beck up to the Les Arcs ski resort to create the piece.

The new season will debut on HBO on April 25.
