The state of Alaska requires all non-profit organizations to maintain a minimum 7 person Board of Directors.

Ice Alaska keeps an 11 person Board because 1.) our members are spread throughout Alaska and the other US states and 2.) to ensure we are properly represented by both interested civilians and Artists.  A larger sized Board also ensures that at any given time, there are enough members available to make an executive decision when necessary.

Please see the About Us page for more detailed information.

Short answer is NO !!.
Please respect that this is an event involving expensive Ice Art pieces, children and volunteers.
The Ice Art produced by our Artists is extremely valuable and cannot be replaced. After the competition, many of the Artists leave to return to work and therefore are not available to fix or correct any accidents or vandalism on their artworks.
As a non-profit organisation, Ice Alaska cannot afford the liability of an unfortunate event occurring between one visitor’s animal and another’s child.
Nobody likes “yellow snow” !!  Our volunteers are putting in hours at the park, usually under cold and dark conditions for the love of the event – this does not extend to cleaning up after your pet. It takes around 2 hours to view all that the park has to offer and this is a long time for an animal to restrain itself.
As per Alaska state laws, certified service animals are welcome but in-training, emotional, support or therapy animals are not.
