Big Picture

Skiing + horse racing = a classic Carnival tradition

Skijoring used to be a staple of Winter Carnival, as seen in this image of the 1931 festivities. One- and two-man teams racing around campus on skis pulled by horses, however, have gone the way of keg jumping, carnival queens and, thanks in part to climate change, majestic snow sculptures on the Green. This year’s carnival took place February 7-10.
