This scenic, open-air ride to the top of the mountain takes 15 minutes each way. At the top you can stroll through replica of a ghost town or lunch at the Spruce Saddle Lodge. Teams of 14 dogs pull two-person sleds. Rides are scheduled daily between Thanksgiving and early April.
Guests can try mushing and often see elk, deer or other wildlife along the way.
People with disabilities are welcome. 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.
