September 4, 2009 — The Vail Recreation District (VRD) is hosting an open house from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9 at Dobson Ice Arena to showcase youth skating options available at the arena during the upcoming school year.

During the open house, participants can enjoy free public skating, as well a free slice of pizza on a first-come, first-served basis from Pazzo's Pizza in Vail.

A youth hockey stick ($85 value), Vail hockey sweatshirt ($30 value), registration for one fall Learn to Skate Session ($75 value) and a free private figure skating lesson ($45 value) will be raffled off during the open house and you must be present to win.

According to Dobson Ice Arena Manager Jared Biniecki, the arena celebrated its 30th year in 2009 and continues to provide Vail Valley residents and guests with an array of activities for all ages.

"We're excited to host an open house and showcase the arena, our staff and educate the community about skating options available year-round in Vail," said Biniecki. "Whether you're a youth or adult beginner or professional skater, Dobson has a program and fit for you."

Youth Hockey registration is currently under way for the arena's youth skating programs including Learn to Skate, Freestyle Jumps and Spins, Mini Mite and Mite Hockey. The programs are for those who either want to learn how to skate or enhance their skating skills. The first youth skating sessions begin Sept.14 and will take place throughout the 2009-10 school year.

In addition to classes, Dobson Ice Arena also offers adult ice hockey leagues, adult broomball league, public skating, stick and puck sessions and non-ice events. For more information on the open house call 479-2271. For details about the arena, go to www.vailrec.com/icearena.cfm
