It would depend on the skater, because different sized skaters would need different approach velocities to complete three axial revolutions.

Think of how fast Santa clause would have to be going to get that big belly around three times, so fast that he might in fact break the sound barrier.

It has to do with the radius of your widest part, the belly area. The governing equation here is the angular acceleration, which is perportional to the inverse of the radius of revolution.

Wouldn't that depend on the size of the skater, the sharpness of the blades, the weight of the skater, the condition of the ice and who knows what other factors?

This all depends on the size of tires, the weight of the trailer, are you pulling the trailer up hill down hill or even surface, type of surface you are driving on and the size of object you need the trailer to go over. But if your talking about figure skating idk anything about it.
