The Los Alamos County Ice Rink offers several levels of skating lessons from ages three to adult!  Lessons are offered weekdays and weekends.  Each participant receives a certificate of completion upon skills demonstration on last day of class.  Classes must be paid for in advance.  Registration is in-person only at the Ice Rink

Lesson registration begins in November when the Ice Rink is open for business.
