Ice Conditions Report 3-30-23

As March come to a close, we’re happy to say that the ice climbing is still good in Munising!

Consistent cold nights has some climbs growing and looking better than they have all season.

Don’t miss your chance for some amazing spring climbing. The forecast looks like we’ll get at least another week or two!

As always this time of year, conditions can change fast so if you are heading out it’s worth a stop at the shop for the most up to date info.


Ice Fest Guide John Miller went out the Lakeshore Trail yesterday and brought back some photos saying “…conditions are great.  Many (climbs) are healing and growing.”

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.
