The Winona Ice Park is the largest ice park in the Midwest, perched high above the Mississippi river between Minnesota and Wisconsin. The park offers ice climbs as tall as 100 ft in the WI3-WI4 range. The park is hosting it's first-ever ice festival, which includes clinics, gear demos, raffles, after parties, and ofcourse, tons of ice climbing! 

Hoofers will be bringing the party to the ice wall. We'll stay at a large Airbnb (pic below), capable of hosting a large group of psyched ice climbers, from complete novices to seasoned alpinists. We're providing food, transportation, limited gear rentals, and general stoke. 

Welcome to Star Hawk Springs! The guest wing is the middle of the sizable Chateaux.
