Join or renew your AAC membership now through Feb 16th and email us a copy of your confirmation and you’ll be entered into a raffle for a free entry to ice fest 2022 and a class of your choice!

The American Alpine Club has been a strong supporter of the Michigan Ice Fest for over a decade, partnering to create the AAC Ground School and signing up hundreds of new members. More people become AAC members at the Michigan Ice Fest than almost any other event in the country, and we are really proud of that. Usually at Ice Fest, each person who joins the AAC is automatically entered into a raffle and are guaranteed a prize. That would be kind of hard to pull off this year, but we still feel that supporting the AAC is important whether we are all getting together or not.

This year if you email us the confirmation that you joined the AAC, we will enter you into a raffle where we will give away a free entry into the 2022 Michigan Ice Fest and a class of the winner’s choice! Email your AAC confirmation to: michiganicefest@gmail.com.

There are plenty of perks when you join the AAC, but if you really want to know what

the AAC is all about and why it’s important, take a look around you. Look to the mentor who first showed you how to belay. The partner throwing you a high-five at the summit. Your local legends. The AAC is about all of these people. It’s about community—about coming together. It’s about developing the legacy of climbing, and celebrating that legacy. Just like the Michigan Ice Fest, and that’s why we make such great partners.
