This is a little outdoor ice skating rink in Town Center mall. On a plus side, it's one of the few…read moreinexpensive activities to do in Big Sky (either free or $5 donation, depending on the day). You can bring your own skates, or rent right at the mall from Grizzly Outfitters, across the Square, or from East Slope Outdoors, right across the parking lot, for $5 (our option, since we had a great experience renting skis from them the day before). They have an open skate every day: Sun 12-6; Mon. 12;4:30, Tue. 12-5; Wed. 12-11; Thur. 12-4:30, and Fri. -Sat. 12-11 pm. We showed up today with 5 of us -- 2 adults and 3 kids.

I'm not too picky, but it was bumpy, uneven and covered w/ snow. All in all, we only lasted about 10 minutes.

It's only a $5 donation and it's the honors system, so be kind, donate, and give more than $5 to keep this public rink going!
