Sledding Hill

The Howelsen sledding hill, a 20-foot-high slope whose base is comprised of snowmaking and will continue to grow with fresh snow from Mother Nature throughout the season, will offer a place for the community to enjoy sledding in the heart of downtown. The free community sledding hill is open daily from dawn until dusk. The hill will be groomed periodically, and all users sled at their own risk.

The Parks & Recreation’s Howelsen Hill team trained its snowmaking guns on the area laying the foundation for what would grow into the sledding slope. Additional resources were harnessed and soon the west portion of the Rodeo Grounds corralled enough snow for the sledding hill to take shape.
