This year, guesses can be submitted online at iceclassic.org or made via phone, 907-545-8483. The website (iceclassic.org) has guessing tools, the breakup calendar, tide charts, rules, and our live webcams that show the tripod and Kuskokwim River conditions in front of Bethel!

Ticket Sales Groups: The groups benefitting from Ice Classic ticket sales this year are:

•Bethel Friends of Canines 

•Delta Illusion Dance Company

Deadline: The Ice Classic accepts guesses until the river breaks, BUT: no same-day guesses are allowed. The rule states: “Guesses must be submitted no later than the day before breakup occurs in order to be eligible to win.”

Ticket Prices: Tickets are $5 for one, or $20 for a book of five guesses.

Jackpot: The winner will earn 50% of the jackpot raised. Should more than one person win, the jackpot will be split accordingly. Visit iceclassic.org for all the 2024 rules.

Tripod: The tripod was built by Eric Whitney – go check out the rabbit design from the river wall or on the webcam sometime and tag @kuskokwimiceclassic in your photos on social media.

Minute Madness: Minute Madness is a secondary Ice Classic event. We plan to open Minute Madness sometime during the week of April 29- likely on Friday, May 3 or Saturday, May 4. In this game, a customer buys one minute of the hour for $250 and owns that minute, with a chance to win every hour. If breakup happens on their minute, they win 2/3 of the jackpot raised. You can purchase a minute by calling 907-545-8483.

Breakup Bash: The hot dogs and buns are on the way! We’ll have all the usual breakup fun. The bash is usually held the day after breakup, depending on timing, weather and other events. We will make plenty of announcements.

We look forward to another exciting Kusko Ice Classic season and thank all of our customers for participating. Through your Ice Classic purchases, you are supporting local groups!
