Dartmouth is grooming Occum Pond for skating this winter. Haven't seen it but have heard it looks good. And should be skateable by Monday.

They're scraping a section of Occom this morning (0.1 inch of snow last night). After that I expect they'll brush it, probably done this afternoon sometime. Maybe the snow on the rest of the pond will sublimate.

Got to Occum (photo attached) this afternoon just as the brush guy was leaving. He said the pond was open since I had my own skates but there was no one in skate rental. Large open area at the north end of the pond and a wide link to an oval at the south end. Nice ice, occasional small rough spots.

Parking lot across from the outing club and street parking. Walk to the right of the outing club to get on the ice.

I have been skating Occom almost daily on my break from work. I am lucky enough to be down the street. It was Zamboni quality this morning.
