Winter Sports in Ouray, Colorado
"Our little boyloves to go to the sledding hill after school"
- Lisa Nelson
SLEDDING
Sledding is not allowed on the free “Kid’s Ski Hill” right in the middle of Ouray, so the City blocks off a section of a moderately steep roadway for the kids to sled. Hay bails are brought in for protection and families spend a lot of time at this facility.
SNOWMOBILING
There is no snowmobiling in the City of Ouray and no tour operators operate out of the City. The unplowed country roads provide a lot of fun for those equipped with their own sleds and good local knowledge. There is a tour operator in neighboring Silverton (22 miles):

SNOW SHOEING
Many of our awesome summertime trails turn into winter adventure snowshoeing trails. Most are safe but some (such as Camp Bird Road)are very prone to avalanches. Be safe! Check with Ouray Mountain Sports and the Colorado Avalanche Center daily before you depart.
