For an outdoor skating experience at 10,000 feet, try this new rink at the top of the Lionshead Gondola. Breckenridge offers ice skating downtown on Maggie Pond. When the kids are tired of skiing or the weather turns icy, take them indoors for an ice-skating reprieve. Public hours vary because they re built around hockey games, lessons and special events, so call ahead for times. Although primarily a summer destination, this lake is open for skating with a separate hockey area after the ice freezes.
Hours roughly correspond to daylight hours, weather permitting.
Admission is free, and you can rent skates at the park. Another example of making the most of a summer spot. When the fairways are asleep beneath blankets of snow, an ice rink is created for wintertime pleasure. It also includes a separate hockey area. Skating is free, but hours vary.
