Many years ago, Leadville Colorado (elevation 10000 feet altitude) built a
ice castle in 1896. Google it. Not THAT large. They have a winter fest
every February. I lived there and worked for 13 years. WW

32,000 square feet. Built in December, to close in March. Each year.
Great engineering and craftsmanship.
