Ice Skating

It's the classic winter setting. With a crackling fire to keep you warm, and gorgeous starlit night above, you skate across the glassy ice without a care in the world. Telluridians remember that setting, and the tradition lives on in both historic Telluride and the modern Mountain Village.  Skaters waltz by day and night in Telluride Town Park or in Mountain Village. The Town provides a warming hut with a fireplace for toasty toes, while the Mountain Village pond plays seasonal music under the stars.

For free skate times in Town Park, call 970.728.2173, and for rentals, the Telluride Nordic Center at 970.728.1144. The pond in Mountain Village offers free skating all day. Rentals are available at the Boot Doctors, 970.728.8954.

Telluride Soaring offers thrills galore with exhilarating sailplane rides throughout the winter departing from the Telluride Airport.
