Minnesota State Snow Sculpting Competition winners

Despite the lack of natural snow, the Minnesota State Snow Sculpting Competition went on as planned over the weekend. There were 18 teams of three, whittling down 8 foot blocks of snow using only hand tools. The sculptures are on display at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds through Feb. 4, but given the warm weather, they may not last that long. As of Monday morning, Jan. 29, one sculpture had already toppled.

Take the cold plunge at new wellness space; Embrace North

The hottest wellness trend of 2024 is ice cold. Cold plunging has been used in physical therapy and in the locker rooms of college and professional athletes for quite some time, but now there?s a permanent space in Northeast Minneapolis to try it. Embrace North is in the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood. It offers cold immersion tubs and saunas. The typical cycle is to begin with the sauna for 10-20 minutes followed by a 1-5 minute ice bath and do two or more rounds of that. The space is open seven days a week at 811 9th Street SE.

Move over pickleball, padel has arrived in the Twin Cities

Pickleball might be all the rage, but there?s another racquet sport that?s quietly gaining popularity in the United States. It?s called padel and it originated in Mexico. The Heights Racquet and Social Club just opened the first padel court in Mendota Heights. It?s described as a mixture of squash and tennis. The court is made of astroturf and sand and it?s smaller than a tennis court. It?s played as doubles on an enclosed court and the glass walls are in-play. The Heights will be installing two more padel courts. It also has four squash courts, pickleball courts, gym equipment, locker rooms, showers and saunas. The Heights is located just north of Interstate 494, off of Pilot Knob Road at 1415 Mendota Heights Road.
