How to Buy Ice
The Ames Figure Skating Club purchases ice times specifically to support the Figure Skating sport. This Club Ice time is available to all Ames Club Members and Associate Club Members throughout the skating year. Club Members have three options when considering the purchase of Club Ice Contracts:
- Hourly Ice Contract - skaters can select the specific days that work best for their schedule. This is a good option for skaters looking to skate 1-3 hours a week
- All-inclusive Ice Contract - skaters can skate on all ice times available throughout the week. This is a good option for skaters looking to skate 3+ hours a week
- Walk-On - skaters can elect to pay a slightly higher price and walk-on the ice when they are available. Club Ice is limited to 20 skaters per session and walk-ons are based on availability. This is a good option for skaters looking to skate a few times a month.
- Joining mid-season? If you a first time-ice contractor with Ames Figure Skating Club and you are signing an ice contract after the contract has begun, we will gladly prorate spring and fall hourly contracts. Because all-ice contracts are already at a discount, those will remain full price.
