The rink, open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., features a small hot chocolate stand, perfect to warm up fingers, and a large fire pit for warming up the rest of the body during the winter months of snow and cold temperatures. The rink, constructed of plexi-foam, which is used in certain professional ice-skating shows, requires special ice skates that the hotel rents hourly. Currently, the hotel offers general skating with plans to host special events in the future.

"The location for the rink is amazing," said Harold Johnson, general manager for the hotel. "There is no other place to skate outside where you have views like this, an atmosphere like this, and snow. I expect the rink to be a major attraction, especially during the weekends, for adults and children alike. Not only does it provide entertainment, it provides a change of scenery from the desert."

The rink, designed by hotel owner, I. Zaidman, took two months to complete. It is available for birthday parties and holiday event parties throughout the year.
