A New Year is upon us and soon we will be watching the tripod!

Good luck!!

With snow on the ground and snow falling from the sky, the ice moved the tripod downriver and stopped the clock at 8:40 AM on Wednesday, May 8.

Authentication of the regular ice classic winner generally takes 24-48 hours, and the winner will be posted soon.

Minute Madness Wheel winners are:

Minute Madness 1 ($10k jackpot): Erin Haviland, Theresa Quiner and Jess Schroeder (pool) of Bethel
Minute Madness 2 ($10k jackpot): Katherine Martin of Atmautluak
Minute Madness 3 ($4k jackpot): Wilson Twitchell of Kasigluk

Thank you to everyone who played and we look forward to seeing and hearing from you all again next year!

Mona Morrow of Aniak is the winner of the 2023 Kuskokwim Ice Classic with an exact guess of May 18 at 4:48 pm.

She just earned the $19,420 jackpot! Does her name sound familiar? That’s because Mona was ALSO our Minute Madness Clock 1 winner with Minute 48! When Haley Hanson, Ice Classic Manager, called Mona from the stage at Breakup Bash today, Mona said she just had a good feeling about the minute 48 this year. It’s a good thing she trusted her instincts because by the time this is all over, she brings home $29,420 in Ice Classic winnings from the two events! We can’t imagine what the odds are of being both a Minute Madness winner AND a regular ice classic winner in the same year, but here we are with a really unique twist to a super fun year!

Congratulations, Mona- we’re so happy for you!
