Ice climbing in Jackson Hole has never been closer. The Teton Ice Park provides the easiest access ice climbing in the Jackson area. The ice park has created a convenient venue in which to practice ice climbing. This Winter the park has moved over the Tetons to Jackson, and now finds its home at the base of Snow King Mountain Resort. By using low-flow shower heads and some mining pipe to spray water on a 40 foot retaining wall, the resort has created multiple features upon which to climb. The North facing aspect keeps the ice in ideal condition. The venue is perfect for learning basic climbing skills. The multiple features also serve as a practice area for more advanced climbers looking to hone their techniques.
Aerial Boundaries is operating the park and offers classes to all levels of ice climbers, from folks who have never climbed a single thing, to those who are looking to improve upon their current skill set. The features vary in size and with with some being 30’+. Ice climbing is a fun and exciting sport, explore this activity while visiting here. There are not too many places that have such convenient access to ice like this.
Access to the Teton Ice Park is available by purchasing a Day Pass or Punch Card. All users will need to pass a skills assessment. Day passes are $20 and can be purchased on site during open climbing hours. Please contact Aerial Boundaries to arrange access and/or classes. The park is located behind the Love Ridge Condominium complex, above the parking area by the Rafferty lift.
On clear days spectacular views of the Tetons and the Teton Pass areas can be had from the climbing venue. The ice park itself is pretty cool to see for itself.
