More pics to come showing the behind the scenes preparation.

....before the curling, there's the prep!

With the IceKing, Jamie, staying up all night to flood the sheet several times so it would be ready for Saturday's event the ice just needed a scrape. Scrape? Is there a machine for that?

Do bears shit in the woods? Of course there is a machine!!

Josh and Jamie scraped the ice a couple times and then it was almost time to play, teams were picked (4 teams of 3)......

....and the play begins!

Snowspeil 2011 is ON!

Just when we thought Mother Nature had thrown up the middle finger to backyard ice and curling and the annual Snowspiel; the temps look like they may behave enough to freeze the 'sheet'.

Is this year sponsored by 'Ting' again?????

Pics to be posted here over the weekend.
