In fact, you'll find that we have a lot of different ways to travel around the state in the winter. Interested in snowmobiling ,we have 2,000 miles of groomed trails to wander, what about trying to mush a team of dogs, we've got dog sledding ,or how about just sitting back and enjoying a horse driven sleigh ride. Ice fishing on our state's lakes is a popular activity with grown ups and kids too. Another exciting sport on our frozen lakes is ice sailing or boating. The mighty winds of Montana make it easy for these boats to sail across the ice.
Speed skating is an exciting sport in the state.
The city of Butte is home to the U.S. High Altitude Sports Center. This speed skating rink is one of the highest in the world. Nestled in the mountains it stands 5,500 feet above sea level. That is over one mile high. Olympic speed skating champions Bonnie Blair and Dan Jansen trained at this rink.
