Ice skating rinks & equipment offered at resorts, ski areas, sports centers

Vermont > State > Winter Activities > Ice Skating

Vermont’s winter air and scenery are hard to beat. But the experience is enhanced when you slip on a pair of skates and step out on the ice on a pond, a lake, or an indoor/outdoor rink especially prepared for you. You can skate forever here on the longest skating trail in the U.S. Take to smaller rinks for some relaxed skating or pick up hockey games. Look for skating centers through the Green Mountain State, where skating venues abound and equipment is available to rent or purchase. Kids love skating when they learn early, and, remember, it’s a romantic sport, too.

Skating rink a favorite with beginners and pros alike at this mountain-top resort

Whether you’ve been skating since kindergarten, or it’s the first time lacing up, you will love the skating rink at the Mountain Top Resort, where winter is just one more season filled with fun activities. Bring your own skates, or rent a pair, at the resort’s activities center. Afterward, take the kids to the sledding hill (you know you want to zip down that hill, too), or go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing on resort trails. Or maybe what you’ll want is some time in the four-season hot tub — or a massage or facial at the on-site spa. Enjoy a meal in the resort dining room, looking out over mountains and the lake, or have a burger and a brew in the tavern. You need those carbs for tomorrow’s skate!

One way to breathe in that invigorating Vermont air: ice skating on a trail that skirts a lake

At the Lake Morey Resort, you can enjoy that crisp Vermont air in the winter in a number of ways: hiking, snowshoeing, skiing. And then there’s ice skating! The resort has a 4.5-mile ice-skating trail, which makes it the longest skate trail in the country. The exciting loop lets skaters skirt the lake’s shore, which means you might want to occasionally stop just to admire the stunning views. (Don’t forget to look up — you might see a bald eagle.) You can rent Nordic, figure and hockey skates (pond hockey is among the resort’s many winter activities) and you can get figure skate and hockey skate blades sharpened on-site. What to do after you untie the laces? Relax in the sauna or heated indoor pool, of course!
