Winter Activities in and around Ouray County
Ouray Ice Skating Rink
Read More
Brown Bear Cabins are 3 miles from the Ice Rink.
The ice at the Ouray Ice Rink is created naturally by the cold night time temperatures of winter. Depending upon the weather, the rink is typically open from mid December until late February or early March - providing hours of fun. The rink is lit at night for the special experience of skating under the stars. The small warming hut provides shelter when needed, but most people stay warm simply from the activity of skating.
Bring your own skates, or you may rent ice skates at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool.
Every winter broomball and hockey leagues are formed for those who desire a little playful competition on the ice.

For more than 100 years the City of Ouray has closed a one block section of 5th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues) to provide a place for the youth, and young at heart, to go sledding. This north facing hill is typically closed to vehicle traffic (but opened for sleds, tubes, and toboggans) from Mid-December to early March, depending upon winter conditions.
