Straight packed track at least 20-30 meters long

HOW TO PLAY
1

Pack and smooth a long straight track in the snow or ice ahead of play.

2

Grip your pole near one end and take a short running approach toward the track.

3

Release the pole low and level so it skims and slides along the packed track rather than bouncing.

4

Mark where each player's pole comes to rest with a small flag or stake.

5

Compare distances after everyone has thrown, with the farthest sliding pole winning that round.

6

Play multiple rounds and total each player's best distances to determine the overall winner.
