Denver, CO, October 14, 2026 —
Ice Castles will not return to Colorado for the 2026-2027 winter season, organizers said, citing operational and business considerations. Those considerations include challenges from mild weather and water issues in Teller County.
The decision follows Colorado’s record-low snowpack last year, according to the information provided. The summary does not specify how the snowpack conditions related to the organizers’ decision, or whether the cited weather challenges refer to a particular location or period.
Ice Castles has previously operated in Cripple Creek and Silverthorne. Organizers did not specify which location, if either, had been under consideration for the 2026-2027 season. The information provided also does not identify a specific site for the water issues in Teller County or explain their nature.
No further details were provided about the timing of the decision, the length of the pause, or whether the attraction may return to Colorado in a later season. The organizers’ statement, as summarized, describes the decision as applying to the 2026-2027 winter season; it does not indicate that Ice Castles is ending its Colorado operations permanently.
The available information does not include details about any operational changes or plans for the attraction elsewhere. It also does not provide a schedule or additional information about the locations where Ice Castles previously operated. The stated reasons remain limited to broad operational and business considerations, including mild weather challenges and water issues in Teller County.
