It is held in the Ouray Ice Park which has been featured on the Discovery Channel, CNN, Outdoor Life Network and most of the major networks. Almost as many photographers and spectators as climbers visit the park, which is easily accessible and is located next to the Ouray Victorian Inn. The Ouray Nordic Council maintains the Ironton Park X-Country ski trails located just North of Ouray on the Million Dollar Highway. There are many ungroomed trails for those that like to get away from it all. Back-country skiers should always check with locals and the Colorado Avalance Information Center prior to any new adventure.
Avalanches are extremely dangerous in many areas.
