SKY RINK AT CHELSEA PIERS LOOKS AHEAD
TO SALT LAKE CITY OLYMPICS AND BEYOND

The XIX Olympic Winter Games are scheduled for February 8-24, 2002 in Salt Lake City, and Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers is ready to celebrate.

To capture some of the excitement of Salt Lake, Sky Rink will offer an astonishing series of programs and activities throughout the months of February and March, including incredible Gold Medal Discounts at the Sky Rink Skating School, which has been teaching New Yorkers to skate for over 30 years. Enroll during February and March and receive 8 classes for the price of 7.

The celebration will include weekly exhibitions featuring Sky Rink Stars of the New Millennium, some of the talented young skaters now training at the arena. These exhibitions will be held every Saturday in February and March at 11:45am and are free for all. Also, on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the period, experienced Sky Rink instructors will be on hand with an hour of free skating tips during general sessions. Saturday times are 12:30-1:30pm and Sundays are from 3:30-4:30pm. The skating tips program is made possible by the support of New York-Presbyterian Hospital, official sponsor of Chelsea Piers.

Throughout the Games, there will be Olympics coverage parties in the beautifully-appointed Club Lounge at Sky Rink, featuring refreshments to accompany figure skating, hockey and speed skating events. A skating professional will be on hand giving commentary, analyzing jumps and other aspects of the technical programs, and answering questions. Daily event results will be posted in the Sky Rink lobby. And don't forget to enter the Olympics Trivia Contest, with great prizes awarded every week. Plus, look for special guest appearances throughout February and March.

Sky Rink, New York's only year-round, twin-rink indoor ice skating arena, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, welcomes skaters of all ages and abilities for general skating sessions, figure skating, hockey training and league play. The Sky Rink Skating School offers private instruction and group classes for skaters of all ages, taught by a professional coaching staff that includes former national and international champions and Olympic competitors and coaches. The extensive hockey program for youth and adult players includes prep classes, clinics and league play.
