Even amidst rain and sleet, the Model T snow sculpture proudly shone its headlights onto the Green for the opening ceremonies of Dartmouth's 88th Winter Carnival last night.
This year's ceremony -- traditionally held on the center of the Green -- was moved to the front steps of Collis Center due to the rainy weather.
Winter Carnival Chair Andy Louis '00 welcomed the sizable crowd as he kicked off the celebrations for this year's Carnival weekend.
In addition to speeches from Louis, several members of the ski team also gave inspiring speeches about the competitions scheduled for this weekend.
During the ceremonies, members of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity were awarded for finishing first during the first ever Human-Sled race held in the afternoon last night.
The Human-Sled race closely resembled a chariot race, with one person riding the sled and five people pulling it.
Participants were provided a wooden base with skis for the event.
The brothers of Psi Upsilon fraternity received an award for the most creative sled design.
The Aires, Rockapellas, Dodecaphonics and Decibelles provided music throughout the event.
