To create an opportunity for additional, diverse, recreational activity, and fitness, through ice sports to the communities of Bonner County.
Well, winter has arrived. We had good ice for a several days early in the season. Snow has now blanketed the natural ice available in the greater Sandpoint area. Keep checking in for updates on skateable ice and progress toward goals.
This past summer, the City of Ponderay and NIICE have continued work toward an ice facility at the Field of Dreams. There is still talk of possible temporary ice this winter. That has been tempered with the idea of saving the money and putting it toward the purchase of a chiller.
Both approaches have pros and cons. Temporary ice will have us skating sooner but there is no return on the dollars spent. Alternatively, purchase of a chiller will negate ice for the upcoming season. However, it would equal an additional major piece of equipment acquired!
Keep checking in for updates!
You can see what each phase entails along with where we are at and some cost estimates for each phase on our webpage www.NIICEArena.com. We are able to take donations on or website so please take a moment to have a look at what we are doing and make a donation to help us complete Phase 2: a chilling system and Zamboni.
See you on the Ice
