Ice Skating

Ice skating in Breckenridge is a classic winter activity that brings together locals and visitors of all ages. From indoor arenas to scenic outdoor rinks, there are plenty of options for gliding across the ice, enjoying mountain views, or joining in on themed events.

Stephen C. West Ice Arena

The Stephen C. West Ice Arena is Breckenridge’s main skating facility, offering both an NHL-size indoor rink (open year-round) and a covered outdoor rink (open mid-September through mid-April). Public skating sessions are held daily, and the arena welcomes skaters of all abilities. Rentals are available for both figure and hockey skates, and skating aids are offered for beginners. The arena also features locker rooms, a pro shop, a concession stand, and seating for spectators.

Peak 8 Ice Rink

For a true mountain experience, the Peak 8 Ice Rink at the Grand Colorado on Peak 8 offers outdoor skating with views of the slopes and the Tenmile Range. The rink is open daily during the winter season, weather permitting, and is located right at the base area, steps from the gondola. After skating, warm up by the fire or grab a drink at the nearby café.
