Creating ice for outdoor skating rinks is a complicated process. Factors such as outside and ground temperature, amount of sun and wind, snow, and type of surface the ice is created on all play a part in how quickly ice can be made and rinks can be opened. Generally, rinks can be ready in 14 days if the temperature is around 10 degrees Fahrenheit and there is little to no snowfall.
