32ND Annual Ouray Ice Fest

The annual Ouray Ice Festival, which is our largest fundraising event of the year, spans three days every January, transforming the town of Ouray into an ice climbing mecca with folks from around the world gathering to celebrate the sport of ice climbing.

During the day, you might find yourself in a climbing clinic taught by elite athletes from across the globe. You can wander through the Vendor Village and demo gear from leading industry sponsors such as RAB, Scarpa, and Peztl. Once you’re pumped you can sit back, relax, and watch world renowned ice climbing athletes compete for ultimate glory in our annual ice and mixed climbing competition!

In the evenings, fest-goers head into downtown Ouray for presentations and movies from some of the best climbers in the world. We have plenty of opportunities to party at the opening RAB pool party and the Saturday night extravaganza.
