Watching the Curlers at the Olympics I see them spend so many trips up and down the ice and so many throws. But the surface stays pebbly and nice, not melting with pools of water and channels that get ground down from the rocks being repeatedly thrown over the same area. How come there is no degradation? Is the surface a compound? Is there a chemical involved that moderates the ice?

If smooth ice makes the rock stick and not glide; what are the two ahead of the rock doing? They look like they are scrubbing the pathway smooth to alter the speed so it will slow down to control the rock better?
