Ouray Ice Park Conditions/ Opening Date

[Dechristo]

Dear Ouray Ice Park patrons,

 

Winter weather has been slow to come to the San Juans this season. Current

conditions on the morning of Dec. 7 are such that we do not have climbable

conditions in the Ouray Ice Park. However, it is currently snowing in

Ouray and cold temperatures are predicted to be below freezing all next

week. With any luck, climbing conditions may improve!!

 

The Ouray Ice Park Board of Directors as well as the staff will walk the

Park Wednesday, December 12 to assess safety and ice conditions. Please

check in with us that evening for an Ice Park conditions update, and

status of the Park's opening on Saturday, December 15.

 

Have an ice day!!

Ouray Ice Park, Inc.

Memorial. This area is dedicated to the fallen friends of the Ouray Ice

Park. There will also be hay rides in Fellin Park, a Puppy Parade,

caroling and the Holiday Ice Dance at the Historic Wright Opera House to
