There can be a lot of sunny days at the Ouray Ice Park!

The Ouray Ice Park is 100% open, and the ice is fat. Crews from the Ouray Hydro plant will be working on repairs to the penstock over the next few days, so keep a heads-up about water levels in the Uncompahgre Gorge. Please be careful, and use designated crossings. Also, please respect work crews and their equipment – the Hydro Plant crew rocks, and those guys do everything they can to work with OIPI. They will take care of repairs as quickly, and safely, as they can.

The Ouray Ice Park is 100% open, and in fantastic shape. Plenty of fat ice to be found in all of the major climbing areas. Have fun out there!

The 17th annual Ouray Ice Festival kicks off Thursday, January 5. We start things off with a presentation by Dawn Glanc and Andres Marin at the Ouray Main Street Theater at 6:30 p.m. Later that evening, join us for the Breaking the Ice party at the Ouray Brewery – sponsored by Icebreaker Nature Clothing.
