Despite a temperature of 7 degrees and a brisk breeze, nearly 300 hardy divers registered for the 2026 ALARC Charity Ice Dive in Excelsior. The annual New Year’s Day fundraiser began in 1990 and raises money for several organizations, including Excelsior Fire District, Minnetonka High School’s Nordic ski program, South Lake Minnetonka Police Department and Tunnel Towers.
