For the past two months, Powell River Skating Club skaters practiced their glides and fancy footwork in order to get ready for Mystery on Ice, a free ice-dance performance that took place on March 1 at Powell River Recreation Complex.
"Our show featured all of our star skaters and our up-and-coming junior star skaters," said spokesperson and former skating club president Barb Klippenstein. "All of the skaters prepared for this show over the past two months while [at the same time] preparing for test days and competition."
The skate club was able to put on a free performance due to a grant the club received from qathet Regional District.
"Next year we hope to involve more of our little CanSkate [learn-to-skate program] kids, but it takes time and more volunteers," said Klippenstein.
Skaters participating in the ice show were Emma Piniewski; Samantha Ratzlaff; Mallory Brooks; Arwyn Fretts; Brooklyn Bourcier; Arianna Solowan; Ana Salome; Irie Ladner; Tinsley Jones; and Nola Behan. Junior skaters included Scarlett Townley; Charlotte Bigold; Hannah Bigold; Hailey Shelton; Ella Storry; Estella Phillips; Hazel Manchon; and Breya Mowat.
