But the unwanted friction and single-digit temperature did little to suppress the enthusiasm. A curling tournament is usually referred to as a bonspiel, and the 42-pound granite stones are normally pushed across ultra-smooth ice at an indoor rink. That wasnât the case Saturday at the Pandemispiel, where the undulated ice at an outdoor rink at Winnequah Park quickly slowed the stones and required the 16 bundled-up teams from around the state and one from Detroit to put a little more muscle into their throws and brooms as firepits filled the air with wood smoke. âYou get spoiled with good ice indoors and then you come out here,â said Matt Raine, 39, of Oconomowoc, as he nursed a 10 a.m. Bloody Mary garnished with a beef stick. âIt makes it interesting, but itâs definitely a lot of fun. Youâve gotta push hard.â
