At the peak of Canada’s harsh winter, 100 workers spend over a month to build a 500-meters long ice track that winds around Quebec City’s historic monuments. Filled with frozen obstacles, the steep surface has to sustain over 1000 runs over 3 days when ice skaters from all around the world rush to the finish line during the Red Bull Crashed Ice Championship’s finale. At minus 30 Celcius degrees, pipes and hoses freeze as 276,000 litres of water are sprayed over a flexible cooling system to build and maintain the gigantic track.
