Crews are working hard to rebuild the Lake Geneva ice castles in Wisconsin after mild weather melted much of the work that had been done.
A warmer than normal January has sidelined many winter activities, including the ice castles in Lake Geneva."It's been a tremendous, like rise and fall of the castle, literally," one worker said.
The ice castles in Lake Geneva were scheduled to open on the final weekend of January. Now workers are racing to the adjusted opening of the first Saturday in February. "Yeah, it's a bummer when it melts out, and we see all of our progress go away, but, you know, it always motivates us every year -- we look at as a challenge," another worker said.SEE MORE: Opening of Lake Geneva Ice Castles postponed until February due to warm start to 2023"This year's been a little bit different as far as like we got, we shot up really quick. We're 20-feet tall like in five days. So usually we melt out to stakes and grass.
Staff said everyone who had tickets for last weekend will get their money back, and the ice castles are expected to stay up now through the end of February, as long as weather allows.
