A little piece of Heaven

Oh My goodness! This place is sheer Heaven! For any local Provo/Oremites, I encourage you to try this place out. It is worth the drive! My friend Tracy introduced me and the girlies to this little shack.
It is not your typical snow shack. It is sheer joy to the taste buds!

This little snowshack is unlike anything I have ever tried. It is located right on Rock Canyon Drive, across from the BYU track (just down from the stadium), on the west side of the road.
Here is their story....This young married couple owns it and runs it full time. They both go to school full time and work other full time jobs. They average 5 hours of sleep a night. They found this stuff in Hawaii, and fell in love with it. So when they came back to the states, they called the company in Hawaii and got all of the details on how to make their ice and all of the flavors. They get all of their ingredients from the islands and make everything at home. It takes 3 days to make their ice-it is so crystal clear and has the consistency of snow. It is unreal! The gals father passed away last year and so her younger brother lives with them and helps them run the shack as well. Just that story in itself has made me motivated to frequent their snow cones often.

They have 3 different options. A short board, a long board and the Big Kahuna. The flavors are so great. You can have a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center and you can also have an Ice cap on the top. (This is drizzled sweetened condensed milk)-Let me just tell you it rocks the house!

They are huge. My fave is guava and mango with ice cream.

Mikayla had the cotton candy with the snow cap on top. Um I think I might put that as a fave too!

Then Megs had vanilla cream, tangerine, and bubblegum all together--Not my choice of flavors but it was really great too!
So if you are hot and want a great cool treat go to Provo and buy the best snowcone on the block. I promise you cant go wrong!
