How do ice skaters glide so smooth across the ice?

The weight of a skater is concentrated in the thin blades of the skate, which exert enough pressure on the ice to cause some of it to melt. The water then lubricates the skate, which moves almost frictionlessly across the ice. Even without lubrication, ice tends to be quite slippery. So as long as the skater can remain balanced, the movement is quite smooth.


What are soft covers on ice skates?

What is the difference between hockey skates and figure skates?

Figure skate blades are thicker, and the balance point is at the back, with more blade extending past the heel compared to hockey skates. They also have toe picks, to help with jumps and other maneuvers for figure skating. Figure skates are also "rockered" differently, meaning the blade curves differently, so turning is different in figure skates compared to hockey skates, as the balance is different. Figure skate blades are thicker, too, so they can be faster, as you have more blade contact to push off of. Hockey skates have no toe picks, as with toe picks, if you accidentally drag your foot or put it too far forward on the ice, you can fall. Also, hockey skates are balanced more neutrally, in the middle of the skate, which helps with recovering balance during the fast maneuvering and contact in the game. Hockey skates have thinner blades, so compared to figure skates, you're going to apply less power to the ice, but they glide a little bit easier than figure skates. Also, compared to figure skates, hockey skates have much tougher construction, as they have to be able to take pucks/sticks, etc.


Why do ice skates have to be thin?

The thinner skates cause the body weight of the skater to be distributed over a very small surface area. This does two things...first, it reduces friction which makes you slide longer/faster/more effortlessly. Second, it creates a high amount of pressure between blade and ice. This causes a thin line of the ice under the blade to liquefy, further reducing friction. (The freezing point of water is roughly 32 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure...the higher the pressure, the colder the freezing point. This is why snow packs into a snowball when you squeeze it.
