Cross-Country Skiing was NOT part of the Winter Carnival
The Winter Carnival started in the 1960s and included various events such as a beard-growing contest, dogsled race, pageant, snow sculpture contest, and more! It took place during the first few weeks of the winter semester, and is now called Winter Fest.
