Taos Ice Arena opening plagued by glycol leak
Taos officials struggle to power a new $60,000 ice mat system after glycol leaks and compressor failures delay the planned December 5 opening at Kit Carson Park. Crews must clean oils, replace fuses, and assess whether the existing unit can circulate glycol for a twice-length rink, as town officials push to reopen the rink soon amid plans for a new $1.6 million youth center.
