RATING (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 8 am – 10:30 am 7.5 The ice was still fairly smooth and fast but no zamboni this morning so it wasn’t as fast as it could have been. On the bright side, the sun was warm even though the temperatures were COLD. 5 pm – 6:30 […]

RATING (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 8.5 Smooth, fast ice – not perfect but better than previous days!    

RATING (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 6.5 The surface was covered in snow from the continuous snowfall, and as soon as the snow was cleared off more fell, so not much can be done about that. So the ice was “slow” but it was still nice to skate in above-freezing temperatures!

RATING (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 6 Due to snow and sleet, the ice was rough and difficult to improve – the middle lane was the best but still a bit rough, while the inner and outer lanes had tire tracks. Of course due to the snow there was a light snow cover. […]

RATING (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 8.5 The ice was smooth and fast today with snow cover, but there weren’t any noticeable rough patches except on the edges by the entrance to the ice.
