The Ouray Ice Park's biggest fundraiser turns the small San Juan mountain town into a meeting point for ice climbers from around the world. Days are spent on clinics in the Uncompahgre Gorge; evenings move downtown for films, athlete presentations and a big Saturday night party. The 2026 edition, the 31st, ran as an "Ice(less) Fest" after an unusually warm winter, with a reworked program of alpine and dry clinics.
