In the winter, there are lots of things to do in Pagosa. Some people come to ice fish, ski, cross country ski, snow shoe, snowmobile or just make snow angels. Anyway you slice it, we get more snow than any other place in the state of Colorado. That is Wolf Creek's claim to fame. You will find so many blue bird days with fresh powder. It's a great feeling to see your fresh tracks on the slop. We assembled a short list of some ways to enjoy our winter activities and hope you find it helpful!
Hot Springs
3 place in town that offer retail spa experiences
 | The Spa - The original pool and indoor springs areas, it's the least expensive way to experience the local mineral springs. 317 Hot Springs Boulevard Pagosa Springs 800/832-5523 |
| The Springs - This is the most commercial operation with 15 or so different temperature tubs lining the San Juan river. All open air, landscaped walkways and it has many amenities like snack bar. 165 Hot Springs Boulevard Pagosa Springs 970/264-4168 |
| Overlook Mineral Springs Spa - Right in the middle of downtown between the Liberty Theater and the Elkhorn Montoya's Cafe. It looks like a turn of the century bath house. Regular price is $15 for an indoor soak. It just opened so they often have special price offers to encourage people to try the baths. They offer massage, too. 432 Pagosa Street Pagosa Springs CO 970/264-4040 |

Snowmobiling
Contractors (they have to get a permit from the National Forest
Service) for renting machines and doing trail rides vary. Over the years,
they come and go in and out of business. Just be sure that your
"outfitter" can take you from Wolf Creek. You meet them up at the summit.
Or at least on this side of the pass. One of them asks that you meet them
in Chama -- which is great snowmobiling, but an hour drive. The chamber of
commerce will have a list of active companies.

Snow Shoe
You can rent equipment at Pagosa Ski Rentals or buy them at
Switchback outdoor gear. This is the best way to play on the trails around
town or walk out across the lake. All you need to bring is hiking boots,
and if you already have walking or ski poles you are set. The snow shoes
just grip on to your boots and like magic, you walk across the top of the mounds
and piles of snow surrounding town on trails. We just like to walk around
the lake!

snowshoe rentals along with rock climbing, mountaineering, hiking and camping

Sledding
There are two places in town where lots of locals and their kids go
to sled. One is reservoir hill downtown above the post office. You
can ask anyone for directions. The other is on hole 4 of the Ponderosa
loop on the golf course parallel to highway 160.
Sleigh Rides
What a magic way to celebrate being on vacation in the snow!
