Ice Skating in the Truckee area is a fun family Truckee winter activity and
is great exercise! My family and I loved to go skating up at High Camp
in Squaw Valley when we lived in Truckee. Since that time, there are
some more options available for skating in the area.
Located in the Truckee River Regional Park on Old Brockway Rd, the Truckee Ice Rink features public skating, skate rentals, a snack bar, group and private lessons for all age groups taught by experienced instructors, broomball leagues, ice dancing, ice hockey, and more!
The outdoor setting is located under tall pines, and has a bonfire, overhead lights, and music to skate by.
The skating rink is open 7 days per week from December 2, 2016 through March 5, 2017, weather depending.
TIME: Daily hours are Noon-9pm. Call the Rink directly at (530) 587-6172 if weather is bad.

The 9,000 square foot skating rink is located within the Village at Northstar, in Truckee. The skating rink is surrounded by seating areas and outdoor fire pits, so it is convenient for parents to watch their children skate while enjoying a nice glass of wine, a hot toddy, or mulled cider.
The
skating rink is free for all, and for those who have no skates, $15 rentals are available on location, as well as $5 for helmet rentals.
In summer months, it transforms into a roller-skating rink, and can be matted up for events such as wine tastings, farmer’s markets, and art shows in the Village. There is also a stage at one end of the rink, where musical guests perform.

The Olympic Ice Pavilion, accessed via Squaw Valley's aerial Cable Car,
is awesome! The skating rink is perched at the top of Squaw Valley's
upper mountain at High Camp. The rink offers unmatched panoramic views
of the Squaw Valley Meadow, beautiful Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains.
Prices do not include the price of the cable car.
During Squaw Valley's Summer Operation Months, the Ice Rink is turned into a Roller Skating Rink.

The Squaw Valley High Camp Skating Rink was always my favorite due to
the Awesome Views that you can enjoy while skating! The rink is above
the Tennis Courts and the Paintball Speedball Course, both open during Summer Operations.
