Sledding
The local children’s sledding hill, known as Vinegar Hill, has been Ouray’s sledding hill for over 100 years. It is located on the east side of town between Fifth and Sixth Avenue. The top and bottom of Fifth Street, between these two avenues, is blocked off with hay bales to driving traffic.
In addition to this in-town sledding hill, a short drive from Ouray in either direction offers unlimited sledding in some of the most spectacular mountains you’ll ever see.
If you didn’t bring a sled you can purchase an inexpensive plastic one from several of Ouray’s shops. For the more serious sledder, check out Ouray Mountain Sports for hand made wood sleds from Silverton. A large piece of cardboard works well too!
