Curling looks like a slow, dignified sport on TV. Then you step onto ice for the first time, push off, and discover that sliding in a straight line is a skill you have dramatically overestimated. The Vancouver Curling Club at Hillcrest runs a Try Curling session for one to four people at roughly twenty dollars a head, with an instructor and all the gear you need included in the price. These are the actual sheets used in the 2010 Olympic Games, which you will absolutely mention while failing to deliver a rock on target. You will learn to sweep like your relationship depends on it and yell things you've only heard on broadcast. It is genuinely hard and genuinely fun. Book ahead, wear clean indoor shoes, and accept that the person who looks calmest in there usually has a plan.
