I probably will not bring mine, I want to travel light. Anyway the schedule doesn't have many options during ACI

yes, that was what I was thinking, that we really don't have that much time to skate. But seriously, you DARE skate in rental skates? My feet are tiny, I doubt I'll find a pair that fits...

There is no info about rental skates on Sportplexe web. I don't like at all the idea of rental skates, but it doesn't make much sense to bring my own skates for a total of 1-2 hours of skating.

The prices are ridiculous though, 3 CAD for adults! I have to pay about 6x more for public session in Barcelona.

I think I mentioned some possible meet up times in the group message, I'm still looking at the schedule and trying to figure out when to take a break and eat    

 

Do we have any other group chats besides this thread? If so i'd like to join as well!

@Hydroblade started one earlier, I think she can add you in. 

I didn't see any rental skates available at Sportplexe, and I feel rental skates are pretty obvious and visible when they are offered. Also, depending how long you're in Montreal and how much of the practices and competition you plan to watch there isn't a ton of time between practices and competition in a lot of cases if you're looking to go skating. I suggest looking at the current schedule to see if their public session sync when you plan to take a break from the competition if you're not planning to be there before or after the competition time.

The saturday public session is around the time of the men's Free, so yeah, not going to work...

I'm in full panicking mode today, just checked my passport and the expiration date is September 30, 2017 .... checked the rule online . called the passport agency and they said it should be fine. The skating gods are supporting me 

Does anyone here who's going to Autumn Classic know Japanese & English well enough to listen to a recording in Japanese & tell someone in English what was said?  If so, please message me.  I may have an interesting opportunity to refer you to.

Hello! I'm relatively new to this forum and I am commenting because I am also going to ACI! I had a question regarding the rink's policy with cameras. The Skate Canada site says that no cameras with detachable lenses are allowed. I'm wondering, how strict are they with this policy? I have a DSLR that I wanted to bring, should I just play it safe instead and bring a small digital camera? 

Thank you in advance for any help! Looking forward to cheering Yuzu on this weekend! 

So I won't be there but please scream in place of me
