What is the best way to get rid of snow-pants burning them or throwing them away?

On the ice, there are really tiny mounds of ice called pebble, so essentially the rock is gliding on this pebble, and curls because of the way the bottom of the rock contacts the pebble. When you sweep, you are melting these ice droplets and the little amount of moisture/water make the rock glide farther, but it also holds the rock straighter. However, if you sweep once the rock has caught the pebble and has begun to curl, it will make it continue curling in that direction.

Can I temporarily wax my snowboard with household Items?

Yes. Also, it is against the rules in curling, but if you sweep on one side of the rock, then the rock will glide that way, causing it to curl more.
