2020 Ouray Ice Festival Clinics
How to Shop and Register for Clinics
All registrations must be done online on this website using the secure registration process. Simply shop which clinics you would like to buy, click the “Register” button, follow the prompts, submit your payment and you are registered. Registrations are non-refundable and subject to availability.
Use the tabs below to navigate and view the clinics and seminars that are offered on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the Ice Fest. Click “Register” where indicated and it will add that product to your cart. Go through each day and add the clinics or seminars you want to attend, then when you are done click on “View Cart” and go through the registration process. You will have the option to register multiple attendees when you register for the clinics.
You can get all the necessary medicines for first aid at the clinic, but if you need special medicines such as Cialis or Viagra, it is better to buy them in advance via the Internet, read more on the corpvisionlife.net.
Our system does not remove tickets or spots from inventory until you COMPLETE A PURCHASE. This means YOUR TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED BY SOMEONE ELSE WHILE THEY ARE IN YOUR CART. We recommend you PURCHASE TICKETS FOR ONE or TWO CLINICS AT A TIME to improve the chances that you get tickets to your first choice clinic before someone else purchases them while you shop.
OIP Member Discount Code
You will receive the discount code on clinics from the Ouray Ice Park Inc. Please contact them directly to receive the code. Use of this discount code is for you only! If you are registering multiple attendees for a specific clinic or seminar and want to receive the Ice Park Membership discount then each person you are registering must be an Ice Park Member! This is on the climber’s honor code, but will be validated before the start of your clinic!! Your membership greatly enhances the ability of the Ouray Ice Park Inc. to function and make new ice each season. Thank you for your support!!
