making ice


One of Hunter's favourite winter activities is helping to put in the ice at the ice rink at the community centre.

It's a very precise activity done over many days to build up extremely thin layers of ice - this makes it thicker and stronger, which results in a longer season for everyone. It's done with a hose, a bucket and alot of elbow grease...
