Pond season is upon us.... How sharp are your skates for the next time you step on the arena ice?
The colder it gets the harder the ice is outside. Arena ice is regulated so the ice is the same hardness. Any time the outdoors gets below -10 the ice hardens. This will dull your skates much quicker. So although you feel like you have a sharp edge as you step off the pond. The moment you step on the ice in an arena your edges will not be as sharp. Because of the constant up and down in temperatures. Pond ice generally in not as good as arena ice. It will break and cut through more compared to arena ice. So even dull skates can feel sharp.
Make sure if you or your kids spend time on the pond, before their next skate on arena ice you get your skates touched up...
Don't have the time to get sharpenings? An extra set of blades can help... Most skates made in the last 10 years have quick change blades. Now you can have a set for the pond and a set for the arena.
I can get blades at lower then anywhere prices and shipped within 48 hours.
