Highlights

The Ice Tower Experience offers winter fun for all ages. Just minutes from town, the Ice Towers are reconstructed every winter at the Mt Sima Ski Hill area. 

All the gear you need for ice climbing is included. We have a wide selection of climbing boots and crampons to ensure a good fit, as well as harnesses, helmets, and ice axes. After gearing up, your friendly local guide will go through a safety briefing and provide instruction on basic ice climbing techniques. We recommend bringing warm layers, good gloves, and a sense of adventure!

While the goal is to reach the summit for some, for others it is simply good fun to explore the ice and snow formations that grow as the towers take shape over the winter.

There is nothing like the satisfaction of working hard to reach the summit and coming back down to a high five from your belayer and a deep sense of accomplishment. Snacks and hot drinks are available by request.

Ice Towers are fun for the whole family. We welcome ice explorers aged 8 and up. For a small fee, folks not interested in climbing are welcome to borrow micro-spikes to enjoy an afternoon at the towers and watch the climbers. 

If you want to take your ice exploration to the next level, try the Wild Ice Waterfall Adventure where we climb a naturally frozen waterfall amidst the pristine wilderness of the Yukon backcountry.
