No Ice, Ice, Baby. Sioux Falls Closes the Outdoor Rinks for the Season

The outdoor skating season in Sioux Falls is officially over for another year.

Thanks in part to the winter that never was and all the inconsistent temperatures we've experienced throughout the winter months here in the Sioux Empire.

All these fluctuating temps have not allowed the city to make the consistent ice necessary for skating.
