Intermediate Ice Climbing Course | Ouray, CO

February 28th, 2010

February was a busy month in the San Juans, with numerous ice courses/trips, avalanche courses, and backcountry skiing days. Among those trips, was a 2 day Intermediate Ice Course that we conducted in both the Ouray Ice Park and the popular Skylight area.  Four great friends came for 2 days of ice training amidst some fabulous weather and fat ice conditions.
