The Guinness World Records' record for the most snowmen built in one hour was 1,279 and was achieved by CLEARLINK (USA) on the 18th fairway of the Mountain Dell Golf Course in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA on 15 Jan 2011.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as snowmen was 333, in an event organised by Hope House Children's Hospices (UK) in Oswestry, Shropshire, UK, on 6 December 2009.

   Defying all odds, Ottawa residents broke a Guinness World Record for building the most snowmen in one hour Sunday in frigid -21C and a wind chill that made it feel like -30C, with a football field full of powdered snow.

    Actually, there were 1,299 snowmen built on Sunday, Feb. 1, enough to eclipse the former Guinness World Records standard of 1,279 and help the Causeway Foundation, in partnership with the Cracking up the Capital comedy festival that help raise awareness for Ottawa-based organizations supporting mental health.

    The event was part of the Cracking up the Capital comedy festival, raising money for agencies including the Amethyst Women's Addiction Centre, Do it for Daron and the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre.
