Winter Sports

As snow covers our beautiful city, it's the perfect time to get out and enjoy Golden in its winter glow. In Colorado, we know every season is a great season for outdoor recreation and we hope our visitors feel the same way! We don't stay inside for months, we bundle up, gear up and head outside! 

Golden offers an immense amount of winter outdoor activities. Whether you enjoy a peaceful day snowshoeing in Golden Gate Canyon State Park an intense afternoon climbing North Table Mountain on a fat tire bike or ice climbing in Clear Creek Canyon, there are plenty of options. Plus, if you are new to a sport, Golden's gear shops have everything you need to prepare you for your activity.

If would like to level up your outdoor winter adventures, Golden Mountain Guides offers AIARE Avalanche Education Courses for backcountry travelers. They even have options tailored to ice climbers or snowshoers, along with wilderness first aid and avalanche rescue. 

Golden is also a convenient and often more affordable base camp for exploring nearby world-class ski resorts. You can venture out on your own or utilize public transportation options such as CDOT’s Snowstang, which has a stop in South Golden, or RTD’s Ski-n-Ride to Eldora Mountain Resort via the Route GS to Boulder.
