Mammoth Ice & Mammoth Copters

As many of you know, toward the end of the summer last year Dave and I bought an ice shack.  After a week at Lake Powell, and an inside joke, we decided to call it:

"Mammoth Ice." 

We were able to get into a couple of events last year.  The Tour of Utah in front of the capital building was a huge success and spending a week at the Davis County Fair in a friend's shaved ice truck was fantastic for some extra experience.
We are working on getting a permanent location for Mammoth Ice at Dave's dad's carwash in Midvale right now (8159 South State Street) and so far so good.  It looks like we should be up and running in May 2012!  It's a fun looking thing (reminds me of Dr. Seuss) and we're hoping to create a fun atmosphere with delicious shaved ice!  We can't wait to get it going!

In the mean time, we have expanded our business to "Mammoth Products" and are selling mini remote control helicopters!  (Which we have decided will also be sold at the shack when it opens.)  I don't know if we'll ever grow out of our kid mode :)  But we love it!  Snow cones and toy helicopters...doesn't get any better than that.
We've had a lot of fun flying them.  I'm not so good at it...and needless to say, they've definitely passed their test of durability.  These are the two kinds we're selling:

With the help of Dave's friend, Scott, he just finished making a video for the website: 

Come visit us at Mammoth Ice this summer...because we will be there!! :) Here's our website if you want to stay updated on what's happening with Mammoth Ice and the mini rc helicopters: www.mammothiceshack.com
