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 slopes.  We assembled a short list of some ways to enjoy our winter activities and hope you find it helpful!

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!

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!
