Curling
Housework on ice.
Was legitimately looking up curling intro classes last night. Have a couple of friends that also seem interested and the local place finally got some afternoon availability which makes transit a bit more reasonable, so, perhaps giving it a go in February.
Here in Chicago we have a rooftop curling bar https://www.thegwenchicago.com/activiti... and a lakefront curling rink (with heated igloo) https://www.harrycarays.com/curling-...

There’s a shocking number of curling clubs in the US! We just found one in Portland OR last I was there, and I’ve been to the Seattle one multiple times.
What an amazing sport. And yeah, it’s a hell of a workout!

Played in a rec league one winter up near the and absolutely loved it.
There are 2 clubs in town now and a brewery about 45min away has an outdoor sheet in the winter for use. I need to look into playing again

former curler, great sport. been meaning to check out the free outdoor curling options down in the Seaport area of Boston (Snowport).
In the 2002 Winter Olympics in SLC we were only able to get tickets to one event, and it was curling. It was a lot more entertaining than expected.
@enfa I joined the North End Curling Club! Basically a provisional member right now (teams were already formed so I can only sub) but everyone was very welcoming regardless.
I had a friend in college, in Central MA, who was from either Canada or very near the border on the US side who was a huge curling enthusiast and very much missed it, and was ALL OVER a SNES or N64 winter Olympics cartridge that included a curling event, and I always appreciated that.
