Get High, The Ice Tower is in operation! Come and climb and experience the thrill of a 30-foot Ice Tower, the first of it’s kind at a ski area in Western Canada. For a small fee, we will gear you up and an experienced climber will teach you the lingo and how to use ice cleats and ice picks,and how to climb up and descend an ice wall. Then you will climb the wall on your own while at all times secured by belay. When you are ready, we will lower you to “rappel” you back to the ground This is available on Saturdays and Sundays only.
