Man learns casino losses not deductible
MIDWAY, Utah, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- A Utah ice sculptor said his massive outdoor ice castle has grown to include 18 towers, each of which measures 30 to 35 feet high.
Brent Christiansen said he uses 20 sprinkler heads to expand the structure by 10-12 tons of ice each day on the golf course of the Zermatt Resort and Spa in Midway, Utah, and he plans to continue expanding the project through the end of February, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Monday.
Christiansen said the resort allows him to keep the $2 entrance fee visitors must pay to enter the castle and he and his wife were given a room at the hotel for the season.
The self-taught sculptor said the main tower of the structure is expected to reach three to four stories high by the time of its completion.
