ARTathalon was an artist-created exercise course that was curated by Northern Lights.mn and part of the winter 4Play MSP event at Fort Snelling State Park on January 9, 2016. The Pink Putter was invited to participate, so she proposed and created Arctic Golf, a four-hole mini golf experience made completely from the snow. It was a huge hit, with hundreds of families and friends playing throughout the event.

Although difficult, sinking it was not an impossible feat.
