The Ice Report – March 2, 2019

March 2, 2019 lpskater 0 comments

ICE RATING (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 8 (beginning of session) 6 (end of session) Much smoother and faster ice today – for a while. The ice quality deteriorated rapidly as the sun got brighter; the ice became rather soft in spots, and towards the end several spots were “slushy”.
