What to do in Lake Placid? Ice Skating at the Olympic Oval
By Diane Chase We slip into our skates for the first time of the season at the outdoor rink best known as Lake Placid Olympic Oval . My blades are rusty and I thrust my foot down the throat of the boot, trying to make my foot pair with the skate. Eyes are pulled out of one side and the laces are frayed. My foot is in a wrestling hold with the boot while the skates look like they lost a fight while in storage. I wonder if this is the year to invest in a new pair?
