Chapman Hill Ice Rink and Ski Area

Fun place for ice skating with the family without breaking the bank.

Absolutely awesome little ski hill and lessons. They were recommended to us by another ski resort as they give ski lessons to 4 year olds. We did lessons with Sam (ski) and Danny (snowboard) and they both were fantastic. Super patient and we were up and riding well by the end of 2 hours. They were also 1/3 of the price of learning to ski at any of the other nearby ski places. The 2 smaller hills were great to learn on and they had one huge hill for those that needed a challenge. While we didn't use it, the ice rink looked beautiful inside and they had plenty of events for everyone to get out and on the ice.

Great little rink that does a solid job of promoting hockey in Durango. The refs are solid and do a good job of keeping things in order. Love the fence behind the benches, keeps it cool and feels like old time hockey! They also sharpen skates which is convenient because I don’t know of anywhere else in the area that trims steel. Thanks to the employees for all your hard work over the years!

Highly recommend Hunter snow board instructor he taught my son and I today for two hours very good with kids -Chance

Great family place to teach kids to ski. Sometimes gets crowded of the bunny hill. Make sure to have leather palmed gloves for going up the big rope tow.

Great rink for such a small town and their staff was funny and helpful. They have great helper things for small kids. My older kids say they need new skates 😂😂 super fun time

This was our first time to Durango. The ice-skating rink was immaculate. There were plenty of families, locals, and first timers. We cannot wait to go again. Call before hand to find out about the session times, they are in two hour blocks.

The new lifts are great and give so much more room to ski! This is a great ski area

Thanks to Jordan and Matt, my kids who went skiing for the first time were able to take in a private ski lesson with Lyla on a private mountain, because they were so accommodating and they don't open the slopes until 3:00 PM. I can't say enough how wonderful experience was. My kids had the most amazing and memorable time.

Place really needs some updating. My family and I spent our 2nd New Years in Durango and wanted to check out the town. While the ski hill looks promising, we didn't get a chance to try it out. The price is very cheap($16 I think?) and if u are a beginner, I highly recommend coming here to practice rather than spend $60-$80 on lift tickets at the resort. They also have tubing on the other side. Lots of options so that was a plus. Now the ice skating rink...so the first thing that threw me off is that the concession stand and the rentals AND the returns are at the same place. So basically it comes down to, do u believe the kids working at the concession/rental actually wash their hands before handling your food? Mmm...Secondly, they were so short of skates I had to opt for men skates, then different sizes, etc. A bit ridiculous if u ask me. They were very old and to top it off the laces don't match. Now, I'm not trying to be dramatic but I lived in the northeast so I've ice skated weekly during the winter growing up. I believe I'm pretty credible to critique. Also, they don't check to see if u have paid. U basically just go in, so if I brought my own skates and I don't pay, no one would know any different! The lockers are cubbies so they are free but also open to the public. Now to the ice! They do not groom this ice! At least once mid-session, they should roll out the ice machine and groom it! It felt like the roads in mexico - bumpy! So, my suggestions for the city of durango, charge people properly and make sure they pay, charge for locker rentals, up sell food and invest that money towards better maintenance of your facility! Good luck!

Love this place! Ice is consistently hard, rink Staff is patient, knowledgeable, and always goes the extra mile to please customers. Been coming here since 2003. Hockey options are above average, especially for a small town. Locker Rooms are always clean. Great community vibe every time I come here. Thank you Matt, CJ, Titus and the rest of the hard-working crew!

our family ice skates here about once a month during the winter season. public skate is 1.5 hours and a family of 2 adults and 2 kids was approximately $26. the guys working the front desk were somewhat helpful. the facility is clean. we sure enjoy coming here! visit their website for a lot of useful information and the weekly skating schedule.
