CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. — It's finally starting to feel like winter in Colorado's high country, making it possible for sculptors to finish Ice Castles Cripple Creek. They're set to open on Saturday, Jan. 10, at noon.
“This season marks 15 years of Ice Castles, and we’re thrilled to celebrate that milestone back in Cripple Creek for our third season,” CEO of Ice Castles said Kyle Standifird said in a news release announcing the opening.
Historically warm December temperatures through the Pikes Peak region delayed the Ice Castles Cripple Creek opening to January. Meanwhile, Ice Castles Silverthorne was able to open on Friday, Dec. 19.
After Christmas, cold enough temperatures returned to the Pikes Peak region, enabling ice growing and sculpting to resume around the clock.
