If you're anything like me, you're always on the look out for opportunities to get outdoors during the winter months. Outdoor activities are especially sparse during the time after hunting season, but before the ice is thick enough for fishing. Ice skating is a fun family activity that can be done by people of all ages, and costs little money. Once you make the initial investment in the ice skates (you can get a decent recreational pair for around $50), outdoor ice skating is a free activity. Even if you don't have access to a safe pond, many towns now flood municipal areas for make-shift rinks. If you would rather go indoors, most local indoor ice rinks offer public skating time. Most charge $7 per person. Many also have skate rentals available for an additional fee. I recently went to the rink in West Hartford with my family. We all had a fun time, and we'll probably be returning for Martin Luther King Day. We've also made several visits to the local outdoor rinks.
