Three ice rinks are available for those who wish to mix a little ice skating in
with their skiing/snowboarding holiday. |

The Cooper Creek Square Ice Rink
is maintained by the town of Winter Park. It is located in a section of
the Winter Park town parking garage. The skating is free. The
skating area is shaded from the sun yielding a long season -- early December to
mid March. Skates are available for rent from Christy's Sport Shop
in Cooper Square Shopping Center -- 970-726-8873 -- or from the Viking Sports
Shop -- 970-726-8885.
From the Zephyr Lodge head to the main ski area entrance and drive north on
US40 for 3.1 miles. Turn left just before the brick shopping plaza --
Cooper Creek Square. After a few hundred feet the Winter Park parking
garage will be ahead to your left. Turn left and follow the signs to park
in the structure. The skating is on the ground level at the east end of
the parking structure. |

The Fraser Recreation Center
is a full hockey sized ice rink suitable for team play and complete
with rudimentary plywood sides. There are lights for night skating
and/or games. Bring your own skates as there are no shops nearby.
Or rent your skates from Christy's or Viking [above] and then drive to the
sports complex. Call ahead for availability as a local hockey game could
be underway -- Call 970-726-8968 or 970-726-4708 for information. From the Zephyr Lodge head to the main ski area entrance and drive North on US40 5.6 miles to the light at the Safeway store in Fraser.
