Fresh off the Michigan Ice Fest World Tour it was amazing to come home to so many people getting out on the ice at pictured Rocks! The cold weather is continuing to build up the ice on your favorite climbs and here is what the locals found over the weekend!

While obviously while some of the climbs need more time to fully form, the areas classics Dryer Hose and Sweet Mother Moses are looking spectacular! Our forcast is looking really good so if you are looking to get on some pre holiday ice next weekend would be a fantastic time for a road trip. Big thanks to the Munising Millers and Troy Markowski for sending the photos of the current conditions and fueling everyone’s stoke!

At Michigan Ice we take pride in being your go to site for current ice climbing conditions for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore as well as climbs throughout the Upper Peninsula. Planning a trip to Pictured Rocks? We have you covered for all the latest snow and ice conditions on all of your favorite climbs. We also offer a full guide service and are currently booking guided ice climbing trips for the 25/26 season! Check back often for updates, pictures, and trip reports!

Please be mind full that Munising early season formations are extremely delicate and knocking any pillars down at this point may take a month to reform. BEFORE MAKING THE LONG DRIVE UP– please call Down Wind Sports for up to the minute conditions: 906-387-8020

Weather and ice conditions can change hourly and what may appear to be “good conditions” to one climber may not be so to another. Please remember that just because a conditions report says that a particular climb is “in”, each individual is ultimately responsible for making his/her own climbing decisions
