Welcome to our blog!

Greetings from Ice Alaska 2009 in Fairbanks.

This year Joaquin and Donna will carve together in the single block competition. We have prepared and practiced since Christmas. We don't want to ruin the surprise with details so subscribe to our blog and watch and see our sculpture evolve.

Starting March 1st, Raul Quezada and Jake Lucas will join us for the multi-block competition. We'll be sculpting a piece entitled 'Alaskan Tradition.' This will be Raul and Jake's first time in Alaska and first time carving big ice.

You can see some of our portfolio pictures in the slideshow on the left of the page; double click on the show to see larger images.

We hope you enjoy the blog and would love to read your comments!

Day One


Good morning! It's day one and we are raring to go. All the tools are assembled and waiting. The electrical is hooked up for the grinders, heater in the tent, hot pot for the glue (warm water), and of course the electrical chan saw. We mostly use the Stihl gas saws, but it is so cold that sometimes gas saws freeze. Duct tape over the cooling vents helps prevent this. The saws are starting --- so more later. Donna
