In today’s episode I am joined all the way from Scotland by Frazer Shaw, the Assistant Manager of Curl Edinburgh. He shares with us his learnings about making ice and managing a curling club environment.

 

We touch on what rocks are made of, how ice is made and what variables are important in making great ice. Fraser reminds us that there are tones of variables to consider when it comes to making great ice, and hopes that this episode deepens your appreciation for what your ice tech is doing from fall until spring!

 

We promise a future part 2 episode to discuss some typical conditions, and things you can consider when playing at a new curling club.
