Skiing plays major role through Carnival's history
Though Winter Carnival initially emphasized skiing, the sport’s role in the weekend has decreased over the years. Regardless, certain events still cater to the sport’s tradition at the College.

This year’s Winter Carnival budget will run between $40,000-$45,000, which is in line with that of previous Carnivals.
Although nothing compares to Winter Carnival, take a look into how the other Ivies celebrate winter.
Ranked the sixth best winter carnival in the world by National Geographic in 2012, the College’s annual celebration has held the media’s fascination for decades, and has been featured in publications ranging from Playboy magazine to the Boston Globe.
Many local stores and restaurants anticipate a spike in business this weekend, a welcome relief during winter, which some say is the slowest season for business.
I know the general consensus is that Winter Carnival is overrated, but it’s my favorite big weekend after Homecoming.
College offices are bolstering their staff and services in preparation for Winter Carnival weekend.
Whether making the pilgrimage back to Hanover to see campus in full winter swing or to participate in College-sponsored alumni events, alumni flock to the College for Carnival weekend each year.
As I sat in FoCo last week, I noticed yet again how close even the most seemingly mundane parts of campus make me feel to my family.
As much as we might try to fight it, moving away from home changes things.
In the finely crafted art of distributing information via flyers, there are three keys to success, much like with real estate or electrical outlets. In no particular order, these are location, location, location. This mantra is the core of The Stall Street Journal, whose single-page publications are strategically poised at eye level in restrooms across campus.
When imagining a theater professor, I would not immediately think of Peter Hackett. Instead, I picture a man in a black turtleneck and beret, someone who sports the sort of mustache that belongs in an 18th century portrait and drops French words into every conversation.
The most prominent images in my Dartmouth memory reel are those I associate with stripped artifice — emotional tipping points, instances of revelation, discoveries of unfamiliar interests and the privilege of feeling trusted
'16 Girl: Now the employees in KAF know my name! '16 Guy: Not sure if that's something to be proud of or ashamed of. \n'14 Guy: Did everyone just decide to wear Canada Goose once they got to campus this term?
First-world problems had never been so relevant until a week ago, when I took my phone out of my pocket and realized with horror that it would not turn on.
There’s something about winter that makes us feel like freshmen all over again.
HELL WEEK SUN GOD RETURNS: Why is he still here? The world may never know. GETTING TAPPED: Even if you didn't get that incredibly trolly blitz from the Sphinx, we're sure you've heard rumors about cryptic blitzes and the magic of secret societies. SUPER BOWL SUNDAY: Whether you're rooting for the Broncos or the Seahawks or just in it for Bruno Mars and the commercials, celebrating America's favorite holiday is a must this weekend. DINESH D'SOUZA: In case you case you missed it: this former Review editor-in-chief, who conveniently just visited the College, pleaded not guilty to charges of campaign finance fraud last week.
In case you were wondering, the snooze button is a terrible invention that only makes you more tired.
As the oldest and self-proclaimed favorite of my family’s three children, I was the guinea pig while my mom and dad tried their hand at the whole parenting thing. As it turns out, my mom had heard that the other (presumably more learned) mothers had started supplementing their infants’ diets with sweet potatoes for extra nutrition. Perhaps a heavier emphasis should have been placed on the word “supplement,” because they ended up feeding me so many sweet potatoes that I actually turned orange. I repeat — I was the guinea pig. I was back in the hospital two weeks later. Everyone thought I had jaundice.
For as long as we can remember, we’ve been surrounded by rankings. Our dads shouted at the TV when there was an upset (Erin’s about basketball, Marina’s about assorted Russian music awards). We were both bummed when that girl from PE class suddenly removed us from her Top Eight on MySpace. And don’t even get us started on the Neopets games room.
