Saturdays (Nov 28th, Dec 5th, 12th, 19, and 26th)
Overview:
15 to 18-minute show featuring elite skaters. Solaris Ice Rink is a great venue for social
distancing with multiple levels to watch the show from (balcony, walkway, or rink side)
Two shows per Saturday night (possible times 5:00pm /6:00pm or 5:30pm/6:30pm.
Featuring elite solo male and female skaters as well as a pair/dance team, group
numbers, and if the TOV/CSE want local talent we could have one number by the Skating
Club of Vail.
Many of our skaters are current Team USA members. If US Figure Skating (our
governing body) does not want skaters performing prior to the US Cha mpionships in
January of 2021, we will supply our event with seasoned professionals. One of the
possible professionals is a US and International Champion who plays Elsa from Frozen in
Disney on Ice. Shipstad Entertainment will be able to deliver an amazi ng show for the
guests and residents of the most beautiful resort in the World, VAIL! This will be an event
that is safe, that the guests will always remember, and that they experienced it in the
Town of Vail.
