Shot Luge Designs

by Ice Matters™ 

These shot luges are available for pick up only

from our Studio in Cheshire, CT  06410


________________

Payment is ca$h at pick up, actual cash, and you need to bring a large thick blanket or sleeping bag.  The shot luges below each have two tracks, one curvy and one straight.  The shot is poured directly onto the ice and our shot luges are designed for shots into the mouth unless specified otherwise. Please speficy when ordering if you want the luge designed to have the shot go into a cup instead (we add a piece to the end, example of the half block luge with both tracks into a cup is shown below under the half block luge design section). 

Luge should be kept in full shade at all times and to help the tracks last longer we recommend only pouring pre-chilled beverages onto the luge.

- Price/description for each luge is above picture -

PLACING AN ORDER IS EASY!!

You can call or e-mail your order to (203) 271-3736 or icematters@netzero.com.   

Please include the date you need to pick up your luge, your name and your cell number as well as the name and cell number of the person picking up, if different. These are pick up only.

The BIG question:  "When do I have to order by?"  One weeks notice is recommended for our basic luges.  Depending on the time of year, more notice may be needed.  Late orders can not always be taken or may be limited to what we have in stock, however we do not keep luges in stock year round, so planning ahead is always recommended.  Call or email us, we want you to have a luge  - they are so fun - and will do our best to make it happen :)

The OTHER BIG question:  "How long with it last?"  An ice sculpture, in a temperature controlled environment melts at a rate of approximately 1/4" per hour, so it will last for several hours.  These, however, are functional and while the ice itself will last a while, there are factors that prevent us from predicting how long it will be functional.  Keeping it wrapped, and even covered wtih more blankets, until ready to use is recommended - you want to keep that cold in until you are ready to use it.  If you are storing in a freezer or dry iced the ice must be tempered before use.  See "ice melts" below.  Shade is key and pouring only pre-chilled beverages (never water) onto the ice will help the tracks last longer.  Tip:  keep it wrapped/protected until you are ready to use it and start enjoying it as soon as you unwrap it.

"When can I pick it up?"  Pick up times vary each week, we aim to have two pick up time frames  and will call you a day or two before your pick up date with the available times.  While someone will always be here within the time frames provided, will do ask that you let us know when you plan to be here within the available time frames so the guys are looking out for you.  Phones are not always manned on pick up days.

Pick up is easy.  Bring a comforter** and ca$h (for basic luges, drip trays and lights only).  We do the heavy lifting.

Any of our party luges can fit in the empty back seat of a 4-door car/truck/SUV.

We will wrap** the luge in your blanket and we will load it into your car/truck/SUV.

  Ice melts.  **You must bring a thick comforter, moving blanket or sleeping bag with you when you pick up.  We will shrink wrap your blanket around the luge.  The thicker your blanket the better insulated your luge will stay on the drive*.  Your luge will be ready to use when you arrive at your destination - just unload, unwrap and let the fun begin!  *If you do not plan on using the luge right away, you will want to protect it from melting.  If you have a chest freezer you can store the luge in, measure the inside to be sure the luge you ordered will fit.  If you do not have access to a freezer, bring 5 pounds of dry ice+ with you and two thick blankets or sleeping bags.  We will shrink wrap the luge with your dry ice+ and blankets, creating a "freezer" that will protect your luge from melting until it is unwrapped.  If your luge has been wrapped in dry ice or stored in a freezer, you must allow the luge time to temper before pouring anything on it - plan accordingly - the luge usually takes 30 minutes to temper outside,  up to 60 minutes to temper inside.  +We do not manufacture dry ice; there are places in CT that do - try a google search for dry ice near you or near us as you will need to pick that up before you pick up your luge.  

For longevity of the tracks and an overall better luge experience, we recommend pouring only pre-chilled beverages on the luge.  Never pour water on the luge...ever.

-

If using outside, ice should be set up in a SHADED area, no matter what time of the year.  Full shade.  Sun and ice is like superman and kryptonite.

-

Drip Tray with Hose is recommended.  Small and Medium Trays are $20 cash; Large Trays are $25 cash.  This tray protects the table you are putting the luge on/keeps area neater.  You will need a drain bucket for the hose that can be placed under the table.

-

LED Lights are available for purchase, $10 cash.  The light is a white/color combo that is placed under the luge or behind the luge to enhance it.
