THE ICE BAR RETURNS TO HIGH CAMP AT SQUAW VALLEY USA



[Squaw Valley USA] February 2, 2010 – Squaw Valley USA and Stoli Vodka team up to bring the renowned Ice Bar at High Camp back to Squaw Valley for the second year in a row. Guests can ride the Cable Car to High Camp, el. 8,200’ to experience Lake Tahoe’s coldest hot spot. The Stoli Ice Bar is an outdoor bar made entirely out of ice, serving ice cold beer, barbeque items and specialty winter cocktails. The bar will be open during après ski hours, weather permitting, for as long as the ice lasts.



The Stoli Ice Bar is Squaw Valley’s newest addition for mountain-top dining, featuring unparalleled views of the Sierra and Lake Tahoe. The bar was designed and built by Squaw Valley’s award winning culinary team and world champion sculptor Scott Rella of “Fear No Ice.” The Stoli Ice Bar is made of 20,000 pounds of ice, constructed from 64 300 pound ice blocks. The team carved the Ice Bar using chain saws, chisels, Japanese carving saws and nail board grinders. The bar comes complete with two shot luges, a grill and DJs on weekends.



The grand opening of the Stoli Ice Bar kicks off Saturday, February 6 at High Camp. Guests can spend their Saturday night enjoying refreshing drink specials and the smooth sounds of DJ spun jams. The Stoli Ice Bar Opening Party will run from 4pm to 9pm at the top of the Cable Car.
