Keystone / Breckenridge Ice Skating

There is no better way to experience winter than ice skating in the fresh mountain air on a smooth outdoor ice skating rink. Ice skating is le crème de le crème of a winter vacation. It captures the simplicity that winter offers, bringing laughter and memories that last a lifetime. The icing on the cake, of course, is a hot cocoa before, during, and/or after the ice skating experience, so make sure you have your eye on a café or you bring a thermos.

In Summit County, maintained outdoor ice skating ponds can be found in Keystone, Breckenridge and Copper Mountain. Each of these facilities offers rentals and skating lessons. Ice skating rinks are available to those of all ages, and as long as you can walk, you can attempt skating. Children of all ages are welcomed and parents can tow children in sleds for everyone to enjoy.

The lake at Keystone Village becomes the skating pond during the winter months. The pond is maintained and operates from 10am to 10pm daily. Keystone offers the largest ice skating facility in Summit County and the largest Zamboni-maintained outdoor skating rink in North America. The rink entertains ice skating and hockey and offers rentals of skates, sleds, hockey sticks and pucks. Instructors are available to teach skating lessons to those of all ages.

In Breckenridge, Maggie pond offers the winter ice rink. The pond is adjacent to the Village at Breckenridge and Marriott’s Mountain Valley Lodge. This location also provides rentals and instructors for skating lessons.
