Bountiful show helps ice skaters cover high cost of sport

BOUNTIFUL — Ice skating is an expensive sport. Figure skaters spend thousands of dollars a year on ice time, coaches, ice skates, costumes and travel for competitions.

To help with those expenses for skaters in the Utah Figure Skating Club, based in Bountiful, the South Davis Recreation Center hosted a fundraising ice show last weekend with performances from all of the club’s skaters.

Ice show set for Friday, Saturday

BOUNTIFUL — The Utah Figure Skating Club will perform its annual spring ice show, “Colors on Ice,” this weekend at the South Davis Recreation Center, 550 N. 200 West.
