The skimmer is made to scoop the slush out of the hole. Some skimmers have rulers stamped into them. Some people drop their skimmer through the hole and have to buy a new one. Hold on tight.

Cleats go over your shoes/boots to give your traction on the ice. Many people end up getting hurt from falling on the ice.
