Many of the world’s best climbers are in attendance at Ice Fest year after year. Our festival is a rare opportunity to be able to socialize with a sport’s elite athletes and the ability to share stories with them is priceless. 

The Mather Auditorium, which will host our feature presentations Wednesday-Saturday evenings, will provide the perfect setting for our featured slideshows.  The building, built in 1921, has over 700 seats, and a sixty foot screen. Gone are the days struggling to see a small screen in a hot, overcrowded, and loud room!
