Event Summary[]
Days after an Ice Sphere appeared above Polar Peak, players noticed that The Ice King was trapped inside. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the Ice King was holding fragments of Kevin the Cube. As this unfolded, a countdown began to display on all TVs across the Island, signaling the arrival of a snowstorm. When the countdown ended, the sphere cracked open, releasing the Ice King's power. He summoned a larger version of himself, blanketing the entire map in snow and summoning Ice Fiends everywhere.
To mark the event, all players were granted the Ice Storm Challenges. Completing these challenges rewarded players with 
500 XP per Challenge, a Weapon Wrap after finishing 6, and a Glider after completing all 12.
