Lake Dillon, in Summit County, Colorado


"t’s official: The Dillon Ice Melt device slipped through the glossy, rapidly disappearing sheet of ice on Lake Dillon a little past high noon on April 20, making it the second-earliest finish in the fundraiser’s 30-year history. "

"Since the inaugural Ice Melt event in 1986, the device has plunged into the lake during April only four times, with the earliest coming on April 11 in 2012 — another oddly warm and snowless season on par with this winter. "

“The device typically falls through in early or mid-May, and longtime guessers have countless strategies to pinpoint exactly when and why it will dunk: snow conditions, weather patterns, algorithms based on past winners. "
