Feeler - Curling eh? - Date(s) TBD

[asp_125]

OK all you canucks and wannabee canucks. Beer talk from Alibis tonight:

I am trying to see who wants to try their hand at curling.

The Ice Ranch in Littleton is available to rent their rink for private groups. The quote I got was $500 for the first 12 people +$15/each additional person. They can accommodate 40 people (5 sheets, or 10 teams of 4).

There is an additional surcharge of $90 if we want to do the event after 3:30pm in prime time (because of the hockey schedule there is a premium on ice time)

Instruction is available through the Denver Curling Club - I will update this thread once I find out if that's included in the rental.

$42 a head seems a bit steep for a short time curling depending on the length it time. I'd still be interested in sliding around on the ice acting like a hoser.

[Sarge]

+1. Price seems a little steep, but if you can get 20 people it drops to $31 a person. If I were home I'd definitely consider a trip to Denver for something like this though. Especially if they serve beer at the concessions stands.

[Canuck]

I'm down.
Jeff, do you know what the cost would be if we formed a team for their league? I think that would be the better route instead of just renting the ice, for a private setting.

I knew it, Canadians are trying to take over the world...

[Spiderman]

My memory of the one time I went curling is that it's an excellent drinking game!

Count me in!

[extremepaint]

They play 6 games which makes it around $28 per game.

Why is curling so damn expensive?! Track time is almost cheaper.

I would love to play though.

[Canuck]

It's not Curling per say. It's any ice rental that is expensive. My hockey league is at least $450 per person every season.

[Canuck]

I'm still down for a spot on a team if there's still interest.

BUMP, update (and cheap) I did their last learn to curl and it was a blast. The littleton ice ranch has a bar upstairs overlooking the ice.

Good News!
