∙ 11y agoIt really depends on who you are and what you classify as being able to skate. If you want to be able to do jumps and tricks then it could take years, but if your goal is to be comfortable on the ice and be able to have fun instead of focusing on not falling on your butt then it may only take a few times on the ice! If you are very young (child or infant) then it could still takes a few years, but if you are in your teens or an adult it could take you a few weeks depending on how often you want to be on the ice.
