Hello,

I'm on my way to Ann Arbor for a work trip later this week and I want to bring my skates ... but I'm having trouble finding a schedule of freestyle and/or club skating sessions for the Cube.

Can anybody local to the area help me out?

Thanks!

The Ann Arbor Figure Skating club schedule is here: http://www.annarborfsc.com/pdfs/ice_schedule/2009_Spring_Ice.pdf

Also, the Ice Cube has what we call pass through ice. I don't know what time it starts in the morning (I assume around 8:00?), but it ends right before club ice starts. You can come at any time, cost is $9/hour, but you can skate in 1/2 hour increments. You can pay on the ice - look for Doug Haw, one of the coaches. Next week is the last week for pass through, because summer ice starts after that.

There's also ice at Chelsea, which is about 15 minutes west of Ann Arbor. Here's that schedule: http://www.arcticcoliseum.net/Max/figure/ES_Default.htm It is also a drop in kind of thing - I think it's also $9/hr and I know you can do 1/2 hour increments. They quite often don't have an ice make during the day because it's pretty empty ice.

Change in the schedule at Ann Arbor from what I said above. Club ice is through for the spring. They have pass through ice for 50 minute sessions at 3:15, 4:15 and 5:15. $8 per session. There's still the day-time pass through going on - I believe it ends at 2:30, but don't quote me on that.
