Ice Castles in talks to build attraction outside Silverthorne

• 

 There won’t be any ice castles in Dillon this winter, but the attraction still might find its way back to Summit County.

Dillon announced  that the ice castles typically constructed on top of Town Park wouldn’t return for the upcoming winter, primarily as a result of major capital improvements at the park, which include a new multiuse field where the castles have been erected the past three years.

“At the time, what was going on was there was work being done on elements of the Town Park Master Plan, and the investment to the Town Park versus the investment that would be needed from Ice Castles for their infrastructure, the waters were just becoming a little murky there based on timing and the different needs of the project,” Dillon’s Marketing and Communications Director Kerstin Anderson said.

Silverthorne Town Manager Ryan Hyland said Wednesday, Sept. 1, that Silverthorne officials have been in talks with Ice Castles to bring the attraction to a parking lot near the Dillon Reservoir dam, just outside of town limits. There are a lot of players taking part in those conversations. Hyland said the lot is in unincorporated Summit County, owned by Denver Water, leased by Silverthorne and subleased to the Outlets at Silverthorne, an agreement he said has been in place since the 1980s.
