Skate America 2025

Skate America, one of the most prestigious international figure skating events, will be returning to the Lake Placid Olympic Center’s Herb Brooks Arena!

Traditionally the first stop in the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, Skate America will be the fifth of six stops next season. Top skaters from across the world, including U.S. champions and World medalists, will compete at the three-day competition in women’s, men’s, pairs and ice dance.

With the inaugural Skate America held in Lake Placid in 1979, this marks the sixth time Skate America will be held in Lake Placid — and the first time since 2017! This is also the third time Skate America will take place in Lake Placid in an Olympic season.
