What is an Ice Bowl®? Ice Bowl® is a disc golf event held in January or February for fun and with a mission to increase local awareness of disc golf by raising charitable funds to combat hunger. The following three (more-or-less mandatory) Ice Bowl® Rules convey the spirit of Ice Bowl®:
- Under no circumstances, may an Ice Bowl® be cancelled or postponed because of weather conditions.
- No wimps or whiners are allowed.
- There are no excuses for not attending. Either be there or be called out as a wimp!

It’s best to dress in layers for outdoor sporting activities in the winter. REI has some good information on the topic: Layering Basics
Stay warm but don’t sweat and come have some fun hucking discs in the winter for a great cause.
