About
The Ice Skating Ribbon is outdoors, so be sure to wear your heavy coats, hats, and warm weather gear. We highly recommend all patrons wear a face covering (masks, gator or scarves) and gloves to help keep our community safe and healthy.
More info
Fire pits are on during the day, however, heat is limited so come prepared for the cold weather. Bring an extra set of clothes, extra layers, and blankets if you plan to stay awhile. During the evenings, propane heaters near the rink and additional heaters are turned on at approximately 6 PM in the Idaho Central Credit Union Stage Lounge. Even though additional heat is provided, it is still cold and not sufficient to keep you warm without the proper weather gear.
Items you don’t want to carry can be left in your car. You can take off your skates and return to your car if during your skating session if needed.
