Anyway while skating I got to thinking about a recent trend I've seen on social media. There is now such a thing as 'wild ice'. I gather 'wild' ice is ice that is out in nature as opposed to man made. I find the whole concept of 'wild' ice ridiculous. Ice is ice. I've never skated on ice rinks in my entire life - too small and confined. But I sort of get the feeling that the people talking about 'wild ice' grew up skating on rinks.
No one makes the distinction between 'wild' snow and man-made snow. Everyone would agree that 'wild' snow does not exist. Backcountry skiing is what skiers would call it.
I like ice where I can take my dogs skating.
