The Figure Skating Club of Park City invites the public to “A Frozen Adventure on Ice.” The club will present its spring performances at 7 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Park City Ice Arena, 600 Gillmor Wy., and tickets are on sale now at figureskatingclubofparkcity.org, s aid Stephanie Bass, a Figure Skating Club of Park City head coach. “We will also have VIP tables set up right on the ice,” she said. “A Frozen Adventure on Ice” is about two sisters who embark on a journey to find the meaning of true love, Bass said. “Every single club member is in it, so we have more than 100 kids in this performance, the most we’ve ever had in the last 18 years of presenting a spring show for the community,” she said. “That’s really exciting.” The skaters’ ages run from 4 to 18, Bass said. “We say we (coach) ‘from twizzles to triples’ because twizzels (one-foot moving turns) are the first thing you learn,” she said. “So, in our little small town, we have 4 year olds who do twizzles up to kids who are nationally ranked on the U.S. Skating National Development Team.” Vivian Ferreira, foreground, and Zoie Reyes leap across the ice on Monday at the Park City Ice Arena during a rehearsal for the Figure Skating Club of Park City’s spring performance, “A Frozen Adventure on Ice.” Credit: Jonathan Herrera/Park Record While the 2026 Winter Olympics, which featured Gold Medalist Alyssa Liu, has contributed to the boost of the club’s Learn to Skate program, the club was already seeing a large influx of enrollment numbers over the last couple of years, Bass said. “So, figure skating is definitely gaining in popularity in Park City,” she said. The club held spring show tryouts in February, Bass said. “The directors cast the show, and I work with these skaters every morning six days of the week, so we all know what the skaters are capable of doing,” she said.  Throughout rehearsals, Bass and her fellow coaches have watched the kids turn into “amazing show skaters.” “We’re starting to see them develop into amazing performers who you would go see in a show at the Delta Center,” she said. “The soloists have really blossomed, and they aren’t just competitive skaters who are very serious and motivated to do triple jumps.” Still, the coaches make sure the spring show isn’t a cake-skate, Bass said. “They make sure the roles for the spring show are fun but also challenging,” she said. “What sets our spring show apart from other club’s shows is we have so many high-level skaters. We always want to challenge our skaters to try hard jumps in the show and not play things safe. That’s the basis of our training. We want to put on a good show, but it still involves training.” While the skaters are focused on this weekend’s performances, they know they have competition next week, Bass said. “So we do put hard things into the show, but there’s also dialog the skaters have to lip sync and convey that will captivate a 4-year-old audience member,” she said. “So there’s another layer to the spring show they don’t have when they compete.” The Figure Skating Club of Park City will perform “A Frozen Adventure on Ice” this weekend at the Park City Ice Arena.

So they’ve been practicing in their costumes for the past two weeks, and I think they’re going to nail it.” Figure Skating Club of Park City: ‘A Frozen Adventure on Ice’  When: 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Saturday Where: Park City Ice Arena, 600 Gillmor Wy.
