Saturday 31st January - Rossland Winter Carnival


The Rossland Winter Carnival started on Friday with a variety of events throughout the weekend. There was a “Learn to Luge” Friday through Sunday, the Ski & Board Rail Jam in downtown Rossland and Family Fun Night with free night skiing on Saturday, as well as the John Heintz for Johan Relay on Sunday. From the 112th Carnival Parade to Snow Sculptures, Magic Shows, GT races, Beer Gardens, Dogsled rides and a wine tasting on the Saturday night.


I opted for watching the parade and the torch light descent on Red Mountain on Friday evening, watching the bobsleigh races on Saturday morning with Peter, and the wine tasting session on the Saturday night with Fiona and Michael. It was a fun couple of days. The bobsleigh race was over two heats and took place on Spokane road which is quite steep with a couple of tight bends, starts at the top of the town and finishes almost on the main street in the centre of Rossland.
