We made a trip up through the canyon to the reservoir to catch the fishing and skating happening out on the frozen water.  There were scattered ice fishing huts and a group just arrived and working to clear the snow for a game. They had just outlined the perimeter of their rink when we happened upon them. 

They began making rapid laps back and forth pushing the snow to the edges.

Before you knew it they'd cleared the entire square.  

They threw the whole pile of hockey sticks in the center and began dealing them like cards back and forth til each team had enough. Then just as the clouds cleared overhead they proceeded to play a challenging game with the tiniest goal nets ever.
