Vail Invitational has come to a close!

Another great year at the Dobson Ice Arena for the 2011 Vail Invitational and Mountain Fun competition.  We had such a good time we came up on Wednesday for their test session and it was Mom’s aka Sally’s birthday!  We celebrated her birthday with Dawn Ristow and her husband Steven at Billy’s Island Grill in Lionshead.

I want to thank everyone with the Skating Club of Vail for the invitation to the competition and for treating us so well.  It is always a pleasure to come up and be part of this wonderful competition.

We saw some of our customers we haven’t seen in a while and met some new skaters and parents too!  Congratulations to all of the skater’s, we hope you enjoyed Vail and had a great time.

We will be closing the showroom from July 20-27, 2011 and then next up for us will be Colorado Championships August 4-6, 2011 at Apex Center, 13150 W. 72nd Ave. Arvada, Colorado 80005, 303-424-2739.

Let us know if you need anything for Champs and we will have it ready for you when you arrive!  See you at Champs!

Another Broadmoor has come to a close!

We had a great time, from visiting with the Basic Skills parents on Sunday, wishing all the dad’s Happy Father’s Day and watching all of the kids realize how big that sheet of ice is and wondering where did the circles go?

Rachael Flatt stopped by several times, during one of her visits we helped out with a donation to the “Kids on Ice” program in Washington, DC.  Rachael donated several of her old skates to the program and we included some soakers.  Rachael’s mom Jody made boot bags for every pair of skates that were donated, they also included gloves and towels and we threw in some skating rings.  What a great way for all children to have a chance to experience ice skating!

We met so many wonderful people from all across the globe from here in the state to across the country, Canada and even South Africa.  Not to mention all of our familiar faces from around Colorado, Texas, Albuquerque and Arizona and I know there are more!

We congratulate ALL of the competitors for their performances, all the hard work, early mornings and dedication you have for your sport!  Remember “The hardest part of skating is the ice!”

What’s up next for us!
