Fairbanks Ice Classic



Just a few weeks ago the temperature in Fairbanks was minus 45 yes, minus 45. The day we went to the Ice park it was 44 yes, thank goodness a positive 44. T-shirt weather for the locals, but not good for the ice carvers as most of the one block pieces were slowly melting away. The Ice Park is located right next to the Chena River and they harvest the blocks from that water source so for that reason it was good the weather was cold. Silver lining in all things can be found.
