Winter Vibe Video Blog #2

Last weekend marked the 6th annual Whitewater Winter Carnival, a weekend for those young and those young at heart to celebrate the true winter vibe of Nelson Kootenay Lake. From marshmallow roasting, AFKO taffy tasting and snow sculpting competitions to the Kootenay Kids Society scavenger hunt (which raised $300 for the not-for-profit!), Avalanche Awareness Day had avalanche safety demos and the Transceiver Olympics and the Gericks Summit Cup, a dual slalom race that saw 75 competitors of all ages; there was definitely something for everyone. The celebrations went late into Saturday night at the Snowball Apr?s Party with live music from Sofiella Watt and the Huckleberry Bandits and The Good Ol' Goats, a delicious buffet dinner from the Fresh Tracks Caf?, followed by a torchlight parade and fireworks. We already are looking forward to next year!

We are excited to release the second video of our Winter Vibe video series in partnership with Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism. We think it really captures the Winter Vibe of the carnival, we hope you think so too!
