Highlights
Outing Highlights
The Ice Skating Ribbon
A dedicated outdoor ribbon for general skate sessions lasting one hour each—an open-air skating experience that centers the outing.
Fire Pits and Limited Daytime Heat
Fire pits are lit during the day to provide some warmth, but heat is limited—plan to rely on warm clothing and layers rather than the fire pits alone.
Propane Heaters at the Stage Lounge
In the evenings, propane heaters near the rink and additional heaters in the Idaho Central Credit Union Stage Lounge are turned on at approximately 6 PM to supplement heat, though proper winter gear remains necessary.
What the day feels like
What the Session Feels Like
Sessions are general skate times that last one hour, set outdoors on the Ice Skating Ribbon; you’ll glide, pause at nearby fire pits, and if you stay into the evening benefit from propane heaters that come on around 6 PM. Because the rink is exposed to the elements, the rhythm of the outing is as much about layering and warming up as it is about the skating itself.
