    ‘26-27 Site Rumors Nationals & Skate America

    Southern Vermont. Easy scenic drive, LP a familiar lovely small town, reasonable accommodations, pleasant walk back and forth to arena. Going to competitions gets so expensive and not all that satisfying for the price. For me, in-person attendance is overrated. After attending SA in November, I...

    Were These Epic Olympic Skates?

    Evan Lysacek, 2010. Skate of a lifetime, never quite as good before or after. Skated with great freedom and precision. Beat Plush!

    Olympics.com Series on Benoit Choreography

    A terrific series. I had really been wondering over the past few years how a program’s choreography and music come together, and this series helps a lot to clarify. As said above, it also humanizes Benoit and helps me understand why so many skaters want to work with him. It seems to be a...

    Chock & Bates [fan thread #2]: "All Paths Have Led to This Moment"

    I was watching some skating thing or other recently with the closed captioning on. Was startled to see this team referred to as “Chuck and Base.”

    2025 Skate America: Lake Placid (official 5.6.2025)

    I feel almost guilty. Lake Placid is the only competition location that works for me. I’m an old lady in southern Vermont, have been to beautiful LP many times, enjoy the 3 hour scenic drive with no traffic, and have a motel there that I like. Easy, relatively cheap, enjoyable travel. I was...

    They should skate to...

    For years I’ve been waiting for a romantic pair team or ice dancers to use the Neville Brother “Fearless.” “We must be strong and fearless…” It has a couple of builds that would be great for lifts or other highlights...

    2025 Skate America: Lake Placid (official 5.6.2025)

    Anybody have an accurate idea when the decision will be made? Hoping hard for LP.

    2025 Skate America: Lake Placid (official 5.6.2025)

    Contrary to almost everyone else, Lake Placid is the only competition location that can interest me. Gorgeous easy drive from southern Vermont. Reasonable hotel rates, walkable village, appealing arena. If SA isn’t there, I’ll go to the LP Ice Dance championships at end July.
