Rime spell (metamagic feat) would be great. Fireball is a good spell for carrying status conditions. And your bloodline arcana I believe changes the spell to frost damage. So if you put them together and take magical lineage fireball, you could cast an entangling frostball, that will entangle anyone who takes frost damage for 3 rounds.
If you add a rod of dazing spell (or a different rod), you can add additional effects to your frostball as well. Dazing spell would daze anyone who takes damage for 3 rounds. But if they make their save against frostball, they avoid the daze.
I also recommend picking up one Aristocrat level and and dumping a bunch of ranks into "Perform: Oratory".
That's clearly Perform(sing).
I'm going to chime in, having played a Boreal sorcerer, and just say that the bloodline felt much more suited to someone going for a frost giant vibe, not so much an ice mage vibe. I'd highly suggest going Elemental(Water). If you're looking for a damage boost, you can always go Crossblooded with Draconic(Silver), and snag extra damage and a bonus to Perception.
Creative re-flavoring of spells can help, too. Grease becomes a thin sheet of ice, Obscuring Mist becomes a thick snow cloud, so on. Hell, Color Spray can be simply explained as a manifestation of the Northern Lights.
Well there is the feat "irrisen ice mage" which let´s you turn spells to cold 3 times a day and gives you +1 caster level for all cold spells, but also -1 caster level for other elemental spells (fire, etc).
You could do crossblooded elemental cold/boreal, but not sure if that would be legal except from a homegame of course. You loose a lot with crossblooded though in my eyes.
Voidfrost Robes: +1 CL when casting cold spells
Frostfist Amulet: +d6 cold damage when hitting things with unarmed strike
Ok just checked, crossblooded and wildblooded together are still not legal in PFS, so that is not on the table. But since neither Marid nor Boreal require wildblooded, you could still do something like that.
With a crossblooded water elemental/boreal sorcerer you could go tattoed sorcerer, get the varisian tattoo feat, take irrisen icemage and have +2 caster level with certain spells. You would have to decide between evocation and conjuration. Some of the natural cold spells are conjuration, which denies spell resistance often, but most blasting spells are evocation.
Why not completely focus on conjuration then?
I think the most ice spells are conjuration or not?
Without the elemental bloodline to change them you don´t have that much evocation. irrisen icemage is only 3 times a day changing a spell.

To take full advantage of Rime Spell you want allies with reach. Foes entangled by Rime Spell are unable to 5' step. So you set up for this:
You move up to a group of foes, keeping a 5' gap between, and cast Rimed Frost Hands (altered Burning Hands). Regardless of how little or how much damage you do, if the target takes any damage it is Entangled, no saving throw. Next, your ally with a reach weapon advances and whacks the foe. If the foe wishes to close the 5' gap it must Move, giving anyone with reach an AoO and, thus, a free extra attack. If you are the sort of Sorcerer who bothers with weapons, you'll want to carry a Longspear yourself, for that free AoO every time you cast a short range Rime spell.

What should be noted is that for PFS, you usually have the character play up to Level 11. Once they reach Level 12, they become a "Seeker", also known as a retired character. Seekers, up to the discresion of the Player, can attempt Seeker Missions or Adventure Paths/Modules at and above Level 12, but there are far few to run. So unless the Player really wants to see how far the character will go in its journey, is is best to just plan out the character ideas in the range of Level 1-11, rather than Level 1-20.
