Arena Curling Ice Setup

Since we’re an arena curling club without dedicated ice, we need to set up our ice for curling once the Zamboni is done. One of our members made a 30-second time-lapse of the 30 minute-ish time it takes us to set up for curling. This includes taking out the stones, sweeping the ice, measuring and drawing the houses (with permanent markers), melting in the hacks, pebbling the ice, and nipping the ice (dragging the stones over the pebbles). This isn’t the best video, but it’ll give you an idea
