It's that time of year! We have snow to make banks and it's cold enough to make ice. But, it's a science and not an art. As much as it feels like it's skating time, the temperature needs to be at a certain range to get the foundation in.
The fence area will be closed until ice is ready or the snow all melts away.
Interested in moving snow - be a key holder?
We need help to maintain our ice
Show up to help when:
The temperature is between -2 to -25
Once the snow stops falling
If you see a lone person or two out on the rink, go help clear the snow, learn how to help...and maybe become a key holder or rink hoser (flooding).
Volunteering:
RCL volunteers put in hundreds of hours (typically more than 400) to prepare rink and flood, shovel, and maintain the ice. If you’d like to join the rink crew and help with snow removal, we can add you to our call list. We wait until all the flakes fall from a snow event before we start shoveling and ask for 30 mins to 1 hour of help.
For more information about how we maintain our rink visit our RINK TEAM page.
Help is appreciated, if you can.
