Ice Alaska Venue
The World Ice Art Championships are held in the Ice Park in Fairbanks, Alaska. In 2009 the venue may move to North Pole, Alaska. Each team is provided with a site on a looping trail through the park. The sites are surrounded by small black spruce are double as R.V. parking in the summer. In 1999 I rented chainsaws from the blue bus for the competition.

Very cool, can't wait to see it all. But do you realize that the image for your group says there are four artists...but you've got five students?

Like the 'magic bus' from Into the Wild.
