The answer would be a) blade, but the toe definitely connects with the ice at certain points, like taking off for a jump! However, the overall correct answer would be BLADE.

a) blade but in some cases the toe connects with the ice like on flips and the lutz and things like that but the toe pick is on the blade so the blade would be the correct answer unless this is some sort of trick question.

The blade glides on the ice. There are times that the toe may touch the ice but the majority of the time it would be the blade.

The blade, although technically it doesn't.
The fiction caused by the blade cuts the ice, creating heat which in turn creates water and that's what connects to the ice skate.

Blade - the edges anyway

A figure skating blade has both a toe (rake/pick) and a heel . . . "blade" covers the other 2 answers. If you meant the toe or heel of the boot, neither touch the ice. I assume "connects" means "comes in contact" with the ice - regardless of movement.
Hope that helps!

The blade is the part that is supposed to be on the ice...
but there are of course exceptions, like when the butt is on the ice. :D
Sorry! Just had to put that in!
