It’s been a little over a year since Jared Clavell first opened Icy Mountain, a gourmet shaved ice truck. They specialize in what they call their ‘Boujee’ shaved ice, which includes the flavor of your choice, ice cream, and is topped with sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, and fresh fruit/candy.
Jared was inspired by his own love of shaved ice and wanting to start his own business when he first opened Icy Mountain. The best part of his job? Bringing people together with their shared love of desserts and seeing the smiles of his customers on a hot summer day.
With everything going on in the world, Jared wasn’t sure how they would be able to open this summer. However, thanks to the community and their outpouring of support for local businesses, plus a few extra precautions to keep everyone safe, it’s been a great season so far.
Jared’s advice for others hoping to start their own small business? “Do what you love and do what you are good at. Not only will you have fun doing what you do, but you will find success as you work hard at your business.”
If you’re interested in trying them out for yourself, follow them on Facebook (Icy Mountain Shaved Ice) and Instagram (@icy.mountain) to find their weekly schedule. You can find their full menu on their website.
