You have put the pedal to the metal a time or two by go-kart racing with your buddies, but have you ever tried driving on ice? No, we aren’t talking about snow-packed roads but rather an iced-over lake, which you will find via Aspen Ice Karting at Kodiak Ski Lake in Colorado. This place is only open between Christmas and mid-February, so plan your visit today. You’ll love this adventure and unique activity, and you’ll never forget the fun you have riding these go karts on ice. Go-karting on ice is like nothing you’ve ever done before!

Open late December through February (weather pending), Aspen Ice Karting is an epic, one-of-a-kind experience that invites drivers to “get sideways” with them!

Located atop a frozen lake near Aspen (hence the name!), Aspen Ice Karting features 5 CRG frame karts that can get up to speeds of 45 to 50 miles per hour, allowing you to “drift, fly, and maneuver” around the ice.

Are you nervous about driving on a lake? As per Aspen Ice Karting, Kodiak Ski Lake is both shallow and man-made and freezes over completely during the coldest part of winter, making it a safer alternative to other bodies of water.

Go-Karts On Ice November 25, 2022 Christy Articola What should I wear when go-karting on ice? That’s a great question, because you’ll want to be warm so you can have the very best time! You’ll want to wear some ski clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty, snow boots, gloves, a face mask/neck warmer, and goggles. Aspen Ice Karting provides a full face helmet, gloves, and goggles if needed. Hand warmers are also a good idea! How old do you need to be to go go-karting on ice? Aspen Ice Karting requires all riders to be taller than 4'9" - so it’s not so much the age of the rider that matters, but his or her height. This is important for safety on the ice. What other winter sports should I try in Colorado? Of course, Colorado is a winter wonderland that is full of fun and exciting winter sports! Get out there and try them all. Here are some excellent examples of active things to experience in the winter in Colorado:

ice skating skiing snowboarding snowmobiling snowshoeing cross-country skiing ice hockey sledding fat biking curling dog sledding winter hiking

  How about regular go-karting in Colorado? Is there anywhere you can recommend for that? Absolutely! The largest go-kart track in the state is at Action Karting near Denver. This track is huge and you can choose between fast karts or slower karts if you prefer. You’ll love this place and it’s fun for the the whole family. It’s open year-round - weather permitting! Have fun!
