The Dartmouth Outing Club celebrated its 100th anniversary with their annual Winter Carnival February 12th-15th. The Outing Club is one the nations largest and oldest collegiate outdoors club, with 1,500 members, or about a quarter of Dartmouths students.

Each year a giant snow sculpture is the focal point for the Winter Carnival. This year, the snow sculpture was a rendition of the Mt. Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, a landmark for 90 percent of the students who take part in freshmen orienteering trips. But an early thaw with temperatures reaching 60 degrees the day before the Carnival started replica Corum 02120.402810 watch caused entire structure to collapse. Rather than giving up, the organizers rallied the students together to rebuild. From about 9 pm to 3 am, more than 100 students formed an assembly line to build another structure: the north and south peaks of Mount Moosilauke (photos: above left--sculpture in progress; bottom left--finished revised sculpture).

Palmer credits the students for the longevity and success of their outdoors club. We have a lot of interested students who want to take each other and show whats cool about being outside, he said. He suggests that other colleges who are trying to replica Bell & Ross watches establish outdoors programs convince administration that being outside is just as important as sitting in a classroom, if not more.--Melanie Lidmanphotos courtesy Dartmouth Outing ClubBy Stephen RegenoldEach winter, untold thousands of runners head indoors to train on treadmills and tracks when the temps turn cold.
