Ice castle at Steamboat Ski Area

Photo detail

Cory Livingood builds on the ice castle in Ski Time Square. How do you build an ice castle? With icicles, of course. Where do you get icicles for your ice castle? An icicle farm. The icicles are grown on a nearby apparatus and then built into the structure, where they continue to grow thanks to the cold weather.
