Oprah Loves the “Magical” Silverthorne Ice Castles!

 

O herself describes the Silverthorne Ice Castles as, “magical…twinkling and sense-defying and straight out of fairy tales.”  The post went on to say, “of all the gorgeous pictures on the internet of incredible structures made of ice (and to be sure there are many!), I’m most moved by Brent Christensen’s Silverthorne Ice Castle, a cavernous, surreal-looking place that looks as if it were constructed by an army of icy elves, or else appeared on its own in an enchanted forest.”

Wow! Now that’s a huge compliment.

If you’re planning a ski vacation or passing through Summit County, it would be worth your time to check out these magnificent cascading ice castles.
