← Back to context Comment by JKCalhoun 2 days ago You need the surface of the ice rink to melt though in order to "skate". 3 comments JKCalhoun Reply soperj 2 days ago You're going to have to explain this we well. I've skated perfectly fine at -40, and there was no melting going on.When there's melting going on at the rink, we're not allowed on the ice. JKCalhoun 1 day ago The melting is just at the interface between the skate and the ice. (It re-freezes after.)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_skating#Physical_mechanics... soperj 39 minutes ago I don't see how this stronger ice would operate any different than regular ice.
