2010Beaver Creek’s Marvelous Ice Music

Ice music in Beaver Creek’s Crystal Grotto is a wondrous thing
A large, two-lobed igloo with stadium seating at the top of Beaver Creek’s Centennial Express lift serves as the recital hall for a group of musicians who play on instruments made of ice. It is all the brainchild of Tim Linhart, long-time ice sculptor. He arrived in the Vail Valley in 1989 from Taos, New Mexico, began carving ice and has been doing so ever since. This winter, he has taken ice sculpture to the next level by designing a structure and creating instruments mostly of ice on which what he calls “ice music” can be played.
