What is the Frostbite Falls Open, 'eh?

Preparations are under way and the date for the 6th Annual Frostbite Falls Open
​will be announced soon!

The Frostbite Falls Open is the premier not-for-profit ice golfing tournament held on beautiful (frozen) Rainy Lake
overlooking Voyageurs National Park.  We are part of the International Falls' Ice Box Days festival.

With four incredible years of our event under our snowmobile suits,
​we're getting ready to go on our fifth  go-round hosted and sponsored again by Thunderbird Lodge.
