Sun Valley has this great deal worked out where if you buy a "3 out of 4 day" ski ticket and decide you don't want to ski one of the days (bad weather, get injured, tired... whatever!), you can exchange one day for a number of things, including a $40 shopping gift certificate, a 1/2 hour massage, snow tubing or lunch & ice skating. We used the lunch & ice skating option, and it made for a lovely afternoon.
However I'm no expert ice skater. Don't think I've been skating since back in the Cub Scout days, and my ankles don't seem to cooperate like they used to. But it was an enjoyable 20 minutes or so, aside from a crew of fast skating kids that were playing tag and throwing gloves at each other. I almost got smashed a few times, which kinda took the fun out of it. An ominous "No playing tag!" projected from the loud speakers at one point, but that decree only went obeyed for about five minutes.
Overall it is a nice big rink right in back of the impressive lodge, and it really makes for a fun addition to the whole ski lodge experience!
