“It’s been a warm winter, which has made it difficult to sustain the ice,” said Ice Castles CEO Ryan Davis. “We will assess the temperatures this week and if it becomes cool enough to provide guests with the same high-quality experience they expect and deserve, we may reopen next weekend. Unfortunately, this has been a very warm winter. We’ll adjust our plans as the weather allows.”
The popular Wasatch mountain ice exhibit is the second warm-winter casualty in two days. On Thursday, the state announced that its annual Fish Lake Perch Tournament, set for Feb. 24, was cancelled due to thin ice and warming temperatures.
