This place is awe-inspiring and appears to be the work of Alpeniglu out of Austria. Keen-eyed observers spotted staff from Alpeniglu around town recently. Alpeniglu refers to itself as "The Snow Architects".

In addition to the indoor bar space, Iglu also features an outdoor seating area with fire pits and chairs.

When is Iglu at Boyne Mountain Resort Open?

If you're planning to make the trip to Boyne to check out Iglu, you'll want to plan ahead. The snow fort bar is open Wednesday and Thursday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m.

And, much like anything made of ice and snow, its condition and hours of operation may vary based on the weather.

Also of note - Iglu is completely cashless.
