Dartmouth's annual big weekend starts this week on Thursday! Winter Carnival is probably Dartmouth's most famous big weekend because of the 1939 movie Winter Carnival and its national promotion by the Dartmouth Outing Club during the 1920s-1940s. The weekend consists of greek house hosted dance parties, the ski races, 1 dollar rental day at the Dartmouth Skiway, the Winter Ball, and the Polar Bear Swim, where the school cuts a hole in Occum Pond and students take a chilly plunge for a moment. The is also always a snow sculpture constructed in the middle of the Green. In sum, it is a fun weekend for Dartmouth students and Upper Valley residents alike.
