Answer 3

I do this in the winter. I shovel the snow, then each night i hose it and use a broom to spread the water evenly.WORKS FOR ME! Im a figure skater and i can do a double axel and a camel spin on it!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

You DON'T.... I hope you are a better skater than your knowledge of physics would show... when a lake freezes, the little ripples in the water freeze too.

Rent a Zamboni... because it's not going to get any better on the lake

Answer 5

Buy a Zamboni.

Answer 6

you should get a large snowmobile and drive all around the lake and pray it does not crack.
