The Ice Castles returned to Dillon for the second year Friday. The castles, which include towers, slides, tunnels, fountains and thrones, were made of 25 million pounds of ice, according to a press statement from the company. Artisans have been building the castles since mid-November. The Dillon location is one of six in North America.
