Aspen Ice Garden, Aspen

Even when the weather outside is frightful, the inside of this rink is always delightful. It is open year-round, so even during July you can still glide around the ice and satisfy your winter fix. Without the ruts and bumps of a frozen pond, the marble-like ice is perfect for beginners, especially with the hockey boards to cling on to. The rink is open to public skating, youth and adult hockey leagues, figure skating, and can be rented out for private parties. Skate rentals are available. Call the rink for schedules, for its availability changes daily.
