Preparation and maintenance of skating rinks
Outdoor skating rinks are sensitive to weather fluctuations. Ice conditions may vary over the course of a single day. Before the ice can be prepared at the beginning of the season, three conditions must be met:
There must be less than 10 cm of snow on the ground;
The temperature must remain below -7 °C for three consecutive days;
There must be no precipitation during the work.
After a day of warmer weather or rain, it may take be necessary to apply several thin layers of water to rebuild a safe and solid ice surface. Watering in the evening or at night is best, as the sun slows the process in the daytime. The temperature must also drop below -7 °C for the ice to freeze properly.
This means that it may take a few days before conditions allow crews to restore the quality of the ice surface. Thank you for your understanding!
