2026 FestExhibition
From the roar of the Elite Mixed Competition to the clinics in the Uncompahgre Gorge, the 2026 Festival was one for the history books. Every photograph below was captured by the dedicated artists of our Press Pass Program—storytellers who hung on ropes in the cold and supported the Ouray Ice Park directly through their craft.

2026 Fest Gallery
a delightful reflection
From the roar of the Elite Mixed Competition to the Ice(less) clinics, this year’s Festival was one for the history books. We came together to celebrate our community in a special place that connects us all.
The galleries below offer a look back at some of these moments, captured by the dedicated photographers who joined our Press Pass Program. These storytellers not only documented the action but supported the Park directly through their participation. We invite you to scroll through and relive the magic of the weekend. If you ARE one these storytellers - Thank You :)
