Welcome to the Meany Winter Carnival page
As all Meanyites know, Meany is all about family (yes not only about skiing or snowboarding), and in
this vein Meany starts the season with Holiday Week and ends with Winter Carnival. This family
centered weekend featurea fun and games for all ages and sizes.
During the day on Saturday, we're planning a lot of outdoor activities between breakfast and after
lunch.

You should have seen it after the launch!!!
For young ones, snow sculpting (or,depending on the weather, ice sculpting...). A chance to unleash
the inner artist in all of us. Also a scavenger hunt - colored ice-cubes strewned around the lodgee.
Find them turn them in for prizes (and
no haggling with prize coordinator).
And yes that is a young Alexina, Grace, James, Louise among other Meamny Kids.
For all ages, the every popular s'smores
