The Fort Collins Synchronized Skating program at EPIC, which became the Fire Crystals, was founded in 1989 by coaches Linda Howes and Pamela Kurtz. Our mission is to focus on life skills both on and off the ice. The Fire Crystals compete at US Sanctioned competitions including Mid-Western Pacific Sectionals. Our teams actively fundraise throughout the year to pay for training, traveling, competition dresses and ice time.

We have several teams for various levels:

• Aspire youth team for skaters in group Learn to Skate (LTS) classes
• A competitive travel team with skaters that have passed at least Pre-Preliminary Skating Skills tests.
• Two adult teams for adults of all skill levels
