COLCHESTER, Vt. (WCAX) - Colchester Parks & Recreation was finally able to open the Airport Park ice skating rink thanks to the freezing weather over the weekend.

The rink is usually open from January to February but had to open a little later this year because of warm temperatures. People at the rink say they were happy to be able to now enjoy the space.

“It’s not too cold today, we decided you know the sun’s out. Good day to get out on the ice, king of the first time we have been able to this year. You move effortlessly, it’s fast and you only get to experience it so long during the year,” said Nick Adams of Colchester.

Even the family dog got some ice time too.
