It's just like regular bocce ball, except you play in parkas with snowmobile boots and sunblock . . . it's a wonder it hasn't caught on more places. March up here is amazing - you can sit in a Muskoka chair (adirondack is the translation, I understand) in jeans and a tee shirt and have your frosty beverage in the snowbank beside you. We have three or four days like that most Marches, and we try to think of fun outdoor sports to accompany the inevitable barbecue gathering. Ice golf also had a little white ball problem . . .
