ice skate on a frozen lake

...but it can be very dangerous….if the ice melt or broke.

Never do it if you are the only one, or only few people there.

The bubbles of water under some of the places where the surface wasn’t frozen totally freaked me out. Apparently the ice underneath that pocket of water was a foot deep, though… so I was assured that I wasn’t going to fall all the way through.

me too! ice skating on a frozen lake sounds like heaps of fun!! only problem is that i live in Australia. oh well, im only 13. some day ill grow up , travel to europe or canada, and find a frozen lake to skate on.

Now, I have ice skated out doors. I went to Grouse Mountain, Vancouver. They have an outdoor skating area. Apparently it is a deck in the summer but during the winter it’s a skating rink. It’s small but suites its purpose. I think I’m going to have to up the ante and try to find a frozen lake for next time. I highly recommend the activity. It’s way nicer to be outside in the fresh air rather than in a rink with hockey equipment smell.
Grouse is expensive though. It’s $30 to get up the mountain on the gondola if you are not a season pass holder and then $6 to rent skates.
