A part of great moments...

From the inception of U.S. Figure Skating to the very first Skate America international competition and hosting two Olympic Games, Lake Placid has been a part of great moments in figure skating for the past seven decades. Several legendary coaches have chose Lake Placid to set up their training programs. Lake Placid is also the official home of Smucker’s Stars on Ice and plays host to several competitions each year including international championships.

There have been countless champions who have come through these doors on their paths to success, but Lake Placid Skating is not only about those skaters who make it to the top of the podium. Every skater has different goals and aspirations, and we are dedicated to providing the best atmosphere and program for each skater, regardless of their skating ability, and contributing to the success of each individual.
