Rate Increases at the Casper Ice Arena

Per a memo to the City of Casper Manager Carter Napier, rate increases at the Casper Ice Arena go into effective as of today.

The increase will only be for full arena ice rental rates as shown in the exhibit below.

The proposal for rate increases was to offset rising costs associataed with the upkeep and operations as well as keeping Casper Ice Arena prices competitive with other regional rinks.

Historic discounts during the off season (April to September) "are no longer necessary" wrote the memo, "as summer programming and rentals have increased and stabilized to near maximum capacity."

City staff estimate the hike will generate an additional $10,000 to $20,000 in revenue.

The City last raised the rates in 2021. At that time it was to daily admission, passes/memberships, and ice rental rates as detailed below:

Wyoming Mountaineers of Casper College Archival Collection

This collection was found unprocessed but was pieced together in stages over the course of a year, starting with the scrapbook and photo albums created by the WMCC. These items were found first and so were arranged and described at the collection level, and then as processing continued, the climbing vest and pitons were found, followed by various documents and articles written and published on the Mountaineers, all of which brought the collection together.

Highlights of the collection are the artifacts and documentation of the First Graduation Climb on Devils Tower in 1955, the 1956 Rappel off the side of the Casper Gladstone Hotel, and the climbs during the 50th Anniversary of Devils Tower. Documentation on the latter includes a feature in LIFE Magazine.
