Tonight I headed over to the Lake County Ice Rink which is really a basketball court that they flood with water. Someone had told me earlier in the day that they had free hot dogs this evening since it was their opening day. Turns out that they also had free skating and skate rentals. I am definately not much of an ice skater, but it was fun for the short time that I partook in it. If you don't mind dodging small children wearing ski helmets and holding onto miniture chairs for dear life, middle schoolers congregating in large crowds, couples holding hands, and a hockey game that you didn't realize you had skated into the midst of, the ice rink was the place to be.
Dutch Henri sledding hill is currently closed, but once it does open, sledding is free if you provide your own sled. Tube rental is available on Saturdays and Sundays for $5/hour.
Another free activity in Leadville is corss country skiing or snowshoeing on the Mineral Belt Trail.
Ice skating is $4.25 for admission plus skate rental. Monday nights from 6-9pm is drop in hockey.
On Monday and Wednesday nights, from 6-9pm, the Lake County Middle School Gym is open for those that are 18 and over. Admission is $2.
Thursday evenings there is half-price swimming for adults from 7-9pm.
There is also downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and dog sledding.
