Saranac Lake Winter Carnival

This is one of the oldest continuously running winter carnivals, most famous for its gigantic ceremonial ice house. Every year they have a two week mix of events which run the gamut from the serious to the hilarious. Most years we bring a crew of novice NCS nordic racers to do a short 2.5 kilometer freestyle event. The real attraction though is the candy given out at the finish, since that is contraband at school.

(Of course I couldn't resist putting a few pictures from the Olympics in there to inspire the kids.)
