In the early morning hours of the night before Winter Carnival, dozens of students toiled under the glare of electric lamps, plastic buckets and snow shovels in hand, racing against time to rebuild the snow sculpture before the opening ceremony Thursday evening. This late night labor crew was organized by the Dartmouth Outing Club and the Snow Sculpture Committee after the south wall of the original snow sculpture, a scale model of Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, collapsed due to warm weather. With less than 24 hours before opening ceremonies, the Outing Club sent a mass e-mail to campus Wednesday evening soliciting ideas for a new sculpture that could be built overnight.
