Ice Follies 2018
February 9th - 20th, 2018
THEME: MIKWAMIIKE (EXPOSING TO STRENGTHEN)
The creation of ice roads requires the clearing of snow to expose the ice to the cold. The snow is cleared well beyond the used roadway to ensure safe ice thickness from the center to the edges of the used portion of the ice road. What do we bring to light, allow or expose so a strengthening can occur?

A new twist for Ice Follies 2018, Ice Ollies, is a snow skate park filled with jumps, a box and awesome ramps where young people used snow piles to perform tricks on snowskates. Through out the event, Ice Ollies had a crew of skate and snowboarders getting maximum air while checking out the scenery.
“It’s nice to have a little home away from home, because we don’t have the skate park in the winter. We’re using what’s called a snowskate. They’re a brand new thing made by Ambition, and it gives us something to do in the winter when we don’t have our normal skates or whatever we do, and it keeps us entertained for sure,” said Andrew Belanger.
