The 2010 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival is about to kick off and I was planning on stopping by. My parents visited the Ice Castle last year and I never got the chance so it was on the list for this year. You can see a Time Lapse of the build from last year below:
They started building the one for this year this past week and you can watch the progress on the Webcam below (updated every few seconds):
With all the rain and the warm temperatures… It doesn’t look good for the palace, but here’s hoping it only slowed the process and didn’t kill it.
Hope I get to see it this year.

Oh Man… Looks like the Palace is gonna be downsized this year. They need to demolish the current structure and start over.
Tough break.
