Frosty’s Skating Rink

I went to Mammoth Lakes recently for a trip with friends and was looking for something to do other than ski. The folks in the ski ticket center told us about a new ice skating rink that just opened, called Frosty’s. It’s near the Rafters restaurant. What a sad story for an ice skating rink. Apparently Mammoth Lakes had a real ice skating rink at one point but it became too expensive to operate and the town sold the rights to a person who opened this establishment. It is called a skating rink but it isn’t made of ice. It’s some type of fake polycarbonate substance that feels like you’re skating on plastic. We were told to give it at least 20 minutes to get accustomed to the different feel but even then, it was not even close to feeling like we were ice skating. I would not recommend coming here and I really hope the town/​owner gets their act together and makes a real ice skating rink.
