The rinks on Mildred Lake and Lac Beauvert at Faimont Jasper Park Lodge offer Zamboni smooth ice. But locals sometimes venture to a secluded and scenic beaver pond usually cleared of snow by wind. Take Hwy 16 east and turn left on Snaring River Campground Rd. Skates can be rented at the Lodge or in town. — Jack Wennot
