For most of my non-level sites, I go for 3-4" in the shallowest area. That could mean any number of depths in the deeper parts.
Good news is you don't need it to freeze to the ground to skate on it - a lot of times you're skating on a floating slab without knowing it. You'll know it if it warms up a bit and you get that seepage, but cold weather cures all. Don't be worried that you'll get seepage every time you skate...all depends on the temps and whether or not it's cold enough to freeze you to the ground.
