Ice Skating
What other exciting winter activities can you think of, besides downhill skiing and cross-country skiing that I previously blogged about? How about skating? It can be enjoyed even in some warm countries such as Malaysia! I’m glad to be given the opportunity to learn skating at a young age with my siblings, at an indoor skating rink inside a shopping mall, in Malaysia.
The thrill of gliding on ice gracefully is fascinating! Falling is part of the learning process, just like skiing. Gloves are highly recommended for skaters; not only to keep you warm, but also to protect your hands from injuries when you happen to fall (hard ice surface and blades on other skaters).
In north America, you get to enjoy outdoor skating as well! In Fredericton, outdoor rinks can be found at various parks. Here are some interesting skating spots I visited:
Rockefellar Center Ice Rink in New York City.
Skating rink at the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta. The largest mall in north America!
Willie O’Ree Place in Fredericton that offers free skating during noon hours, in the winter.
