ALARC Ice Dive 2022
About This Event
Jump into Lake Minnetonka to wake you up on New Year's Day! Great annual tradition with major bragging rights and contribution to wonderful charities. And continue to earn your fish levels.
The primary beneficiary of the proceeds of the ALARC Ice Dive will be the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The mission of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is to honor the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. They also honor our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.
The ALARC Ice Dive is in its new permanent home at the Port of Excelsior in downtown Excelsior at 395 Lake Street across from Haskels. Due to COVID-19, we are making a fundamental change to the ALARC Ice Dive this year. All registrations must be done online at this site. It will be a Drive-Up, Dive into Lake Minnetonka, and Drive-Away event. Divers are encouraged to have someone drive them to the event and be ready to drive the diver home. If you do not have a driver, there is some parking near the event in downtown Excelsior. Divers should wear their dive gear under their street clothes. Spectators will be able to watch the divers from a designated dock.
Costume Contest
The ALARC Ice Dive will be giving away two $50 Gift Certificates, one each for the top two costumes worn by the divers as they jump into the comfort of Lake Minnetonka. The costumes will be judged by the ALARC staff. Judging criteria will be based on creativity and attention grabbing. Ice Dive spectators will be encouraged to voice their opinion also.
