Reuters Photographs ( Nathan Armes )

Lastly, and probably one of the best photos is the one below, from Nathan Armes.

News article from the Summit Daily News

Hundreds of thousands of icicles invite your imagination to play in Silverthorne. They dangle, glisten and drip with palatable enthusiasm. It is true. They speak. Not audibly. But in form: angular, whimsical, eccentric.
Brent Christensen first began experimenting with ice castles in his hometown of Midway (located on the backside of Deer Valley) Utah, with his kids about five years ago. He started with a 15- to 20-foot high wooden frame but quickly discovered the spring meltdown also meant a mess of broken wood, so he switched to PVC piping. After finding out he could build ice castles completely out of water sprouting from PVC pipes topped with sprinkler heads, he got hooked and literally didn’t want to do anything else, he said.

Ice Castles mentioned on the “This Old House” blog
So this is a great post about the Ice Castles by the “This Old House” blog. I think it is even more awesome because as a child I grew up watching This Old House on Saturday mornings. They didn’t quite get it right about how the Ice Castle is created — we actually don’t use any wood at all in the ice castles and our only Ice Castle this year is in Silverthorne, Colorado, not in Utah. But hey, we’re excited to be mentioned side by side with among others, the Snow King Castle and the Hotel de Glace in Quebec! Click the image to see the article.
