Ice skating rinks can be found in Wehnimer's Landing and Icemule Trace. During the winter months, one can be found at the Festival of Frost in Wehnimer's Landing, as well as one that is located in the Landing Bazaar. White Haven also has a skating pond in Icemule Trace, as does Burga Hall, the premium hall west of the south gate.
