Aspen Ice Karting

A seasonal pop-up that runs go-kart sessions on a frozen lake in the El Jebel/Carbondale area using CRG karts adapted for ice. Helmets and goggles are provided; laps focus on drifting and timed runs.

Runs in winter months on Kodiak Ski Lake near Tree Farm Drive. Check the operator's site or local listings for current season dates and event schedules before planning a trip.

You’ll join short, instructor-led sessions on an oval/technical ice circuit using purpose-equipped go-karts. Safety briefing and gear fitting happen before you drive.

Look out for:

• Cold-weather clothing and closed-toe shoes are required.
• Helmets and goggles provided; follow staff instructions for safety.
• Karts can be fast and designed for drifting—expect slip, slides, and quick laps.
• Sessions are typically group-based with multiple heats and lap-timing.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive a little early to get fitted and attend the safety briefing. Book a driving session in advance during peak winter weekends and dress in layers; spectators can watch from the shore.

• Operates as a winter pop-up; season dates vary.
• Wear warm, windproof layers and sturdy shoes.
• Expect brief instructor-led training before driving.
• Check location parking and trail access; venue is near the Willits Town Center.
