Ice Castles, the walk-through winter art installation, will not be returning to Utah next year, its creators have announced.

The decision, according to Ice Castles spokesperson Amanda Roseth, follows several warm winters at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Midway. That’s the same location where several events are planned during the 2034 Olympics and Paralympics: biathlon, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, para biathlon and para cross-country skiing, according to The Park Record .

Warm weather has significantly limited the time Ice Castles could welcome visitors, Roseth said. Earlier this year, the exhibition was only open from Jan. 15 until Feb. 7.

“We weren’t even certain that we were going to open for the season because it was so warm during our building phase,” she said.
