Ice Hockey On Cottonwood Lake

Lake Partially Frozen; Winter Hockey On A Snowy and Windy November Afternoon

November 12, 2011 - Colorado has had an especially cold and snowy October and November thus far, and this afternoon was no exception. Snowfall was coming down at Cottonwood Lake (west of Buena Vista), and I thought I'd snap some pictures and show the winter scenery by video. As you can see, a bunch of folks were out playing ice hockey on the lake. That looks like so much fun!

A closer, in-action shot of them playing hockey.

Inspiring to watch them play hockey!
