Outdoor Ice Rinks
The FREE outdoor ice rinks at Howelsen Hill will be back again this winter! Our opening date is still TBD, but crews started framing out the rinks last week, and will start forming the fresh ice sheets once temperatures drop and the skies clear. The sheets have moved to the sand volleyball courts instead of the recently refurbished tennis courts. Stay tuned for more updates!
