Zamboni Snow?

[afarrell]

I've heard that by the time they get done polishing up the ice they have quite a bit of it collected. Is this enough for an urban setup and what should I do to get ahold of some? Anybody tried this?

 

[mnjib]

yes there is enough normaly. and yes alot of people do it.

 

[mind_Riot39]

yeah its definitely enough. you have to have a truck tho and you have to go back and get more every couple hours. if there's more than one rink in your area that works best

 

[SteezePatrol]

I've done it a few times, you need about a truckload of snow to last you one summer day. or about a truckload for a fall day or two

 

[ShadyHillGroup]

if you you dont have a pick-up, just get 3 or 4 big plastic trash cans and fill those up and you'll have enough snow

 

[outerlimitz]

that sounds like a ton of work..go wakeboarding.

 

[JAYTRON]

my rink piles the snow out back and theres usually enough to ski on there

If you dont have a truck, put a tarp over the back/trunk of your car and load it up, then load up bins and put them on the back seats and/or on top of the car...plan to be incapable of going over 50 mph

i heard the ice they used had chemicals in it to help it keep from melting. this true? obviously bad to eat but bad for skis?

 

[skoganskier101]

it shouldnt affect ur skis at all?i really dont know buit i dont see how it would

 

[blakroc]

^if thats true it might eat ure bases a little but a lot less then any rail so it doesnt matter

 

[skiierman]

Usually they have a ton of snow, more than enough for what you need.

 

[Liam.]

well i play hockey...and considering that kids get there chins and faces cut open...and use the snow to help the swelling...i dont think that the snow is bad to eat...but consider this, blades that have been who knows where, and sweaty hockey shit has been you know where, do u really want to eat it

and it aignt bad for skates...wont be bad for skis

 

[papasteeze]

lay a piece of carpet down first then the shavings

 

[CrazedSkier1080]

Ha, i kinda make it a point not to use that snow. i know personally ive bled, vomited, spit, and done many other things to ice from playing hockey... its so dirty and gross

 

[dweezileast]

i used to think it was just a little pile, but i was in burlington one night, and we went to find some snow, and there were like 25 6 foot stacks of snow all around

 

[720laxskier]

i work ata rink, there's no chemicals in the ice. its just a lot of rinks used to have freon in the pipes cooling the floor. but its just normal snow

 

[afarrell]

yeah but how much ice are you guys talking. The only one I have to use is just 1 full size hockey arena.

 

[ski8990]

that should be enough

 

[skiierman]

Yeah I just think it depends on when you get to the arena and which arena it is.

 

[Desjardins]

there is always more then enough snow, just get something to put it in and bring it to were you need to set it up

 

[liukangkid]

there is usualy a pile of snow outside the rink

 

[jameslovesponies]

yeah, at my school our hockey rink opens in the beginning of october and my homies and i steeze it up until it starts snowing
