Eagle River WI ice castle

Every year the volunteer fire department here puts up an ice castle for the World Championship Snowmobile Derby. This is this year's effort. Every year is a different design. I took this photo yesterday. Too bad it was cloudy, it really sparkles in the sun. A balmy minus 26 degrees this morning.

That's Huge!

Very cool! Do you have any details on how they do it?

Here is a short history with some more photos. They had not done it the last couple of years because of late ice to cut the blocks.:

Interesting. Thank you.

A beauty.

Bruce T. I guess it was hurting both our necks. Lol

Do they still light it up at night? We always try to make it up to get a peek.

Nice, They do the same thing each winter in Saranac Lake, NY

Yes, it's lit at night.

Lol....
