What was once the Silverthorne Ice Castles has found a new home in Breckenridge after the attraction skated through a final approval by the town council Tuesday, reports the Summit Daily.

The Ice Castles will be constructed on the Tiger Dredge parking lot.

“I think the ice castle belongs in Breckenridge,” Councilman Mark Burke said.

Work on the ice castles is set to begin in mid-October with the opening in mid- to late November.
