The Sertich Ice Center is the proud epicenter of ice sports activities at the Cultural, Recreational and Park Services of the City of Colorado Springs and provides services throughout the year. Luckily, there are some great places to ice skate in Colorado Springs, whether you're a beginner or an experienced skater. And many of them are open all year round. From unlimited three-month public skating memberships to individual sessions, the Sertich Ice Center is a leading ice skating rink in Colorado Springs, in Memorial Park.
The indoor rink is open year-round and offers single-session passes, hockey games, and theme skating nights for all levels of experience, from beginner skaters to veteran puck fans. The downtown Denver skating rink welcomes more than 50,000 skaters and the ice skating rink remains open every year. It is located in Skyline Park, 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe. Skates are available for rent for adults and children, but if you bring your own pair, you can skate for free.
The family-friendly Beaver Creek Village ice skating rink is located on an outdoor rink right in the center of the mountain village, near the town of Avon. You can rent skates for a small fee at the walk-in booth, which is located next to Base Mountain Sports. In recent years, there has also been an opportunity to rent ice bikes in advance for specific periods of time. At the Estes Park Center, the frozen Dorsey Pond combines nature with nostalgia for a retro skating experience on a rink surrounded by pine trees and mountain peaks.
With locations in Estes Park and Granby, the YMCA of the Rockies offers two outdoor ice skating rinks with different personalities. From November to February, you can ice skate outdoors in Denver, in the city center, at the Downtown Denver Rink at Skyline Park, next to the 16th Street Mall. If you want to get your skates on or go watch an ice hockey game, Colorado Springs has plenty of rinks to choose from. The Longmont Recreational Ice Skating Rink is a seasonal outdoor ice skating rink located in Roosevelt Park, near downtown Longmont.
The city center is one of the favorite places to go skating during the holidays, but the bright lights and the nearby restaurants and watering holes make it a prime spot, even after the caroling songs and gift shoppers are over. In Granby, the Snow Mountain Ranch Winter Pavilion, in the Winter Fun Park, offers a rink for outdoor skating or playing hockey, broomball or other ice sports, including curling on occasion. The rink offers private and group classes with former world champion figure skaters who live in the city (contact the rink for more information), plus walk-in hockey for all ages, where beginners are welcome. A Zamboni creates perfect ice conditions every three hours, there are rest rooms around the perimeter of the rink that allow parents to comfortably supervise their skaters under heat lamps, hot chocolate and stylish accommodations are just a few steps away, and the lights that surround the rink at night give it a warm glow.
Although the track has a small cabin to warm up, a dip in the nearby 96-108-degree pools of Ouray Hot Springs and Orvis Hot Springs will protect you from the cold after making the last turn of eight. The 9,000 square foot Black Family ice skating rink in Beaver Creek fits perfectly with the resort's reputation for luxury. Colorado is a wonderful winter destination, with dozens of options for fun in cold climates such as skiing, biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowshoeing and ice skating. There is a seasonal outdoor ice skating rink located right in the center of The Promenade Shops at Centerra, in Loveland.
With that in mind, it's important to confirm that the runway is actually open and safe before heading out.
