It’s only December, but believe it or not, we have already been skating three times this winter! Well the first time we went, it wasn’t winter yet, but it was indoors at the ACC so there was ice. We went again last weekend, to a nearby arena . The arena was already packed with kids, seems like we are a bit snow in starting to skate this year!
Finally, this weekend, we tried an outdoor skating trail in Etobicoke. We’ve gone to another skating trail in the past, up in Richmond Hill and that was pretty cool. It is different skating outdoors on a trail, because the ground is not inherently flat (although they try to make it flat, but it’s more difficult than a rink). You sometimes have to do a bit of work because the trail goes slightly uphill, or you might start going downhill (a bit).
The one in Samuel Smith Ice Trail in Etobicoke. It seems more flat, and a bit longer than the one at Richmond Green. There’s also a little bridge that you have to go over, which is kind of dangerous because if you fall approaching the bridge, you either hit the concrete railing on the bridge, or if you are lucky and miss that, then you plunge into the river!
