The Magnolia Open is one of two local U.S. Figure Skating qualifier events that the Atlanta Figure Skating Club hosts. Every March at Alpharetta’s rink, the Cooler, more than 150 skaters—most of them under 18—participate in the Magnolia Open in categories like European waltz, hoedown variation, and, of course, free skate.

Everyone knows Atlantans aren’t used to snow and ice, and we’re not too versed in winter sports either. But just because the temperature drops outside—don’t worry, it will be warm in a few weeks!—doesn’t mean we have to stay inactive or endure a sweaty gym.
