OFFICIAL SITE

 
Dear Dartmouth-Tuck CarniVailers and Friends,
 
 
The snow is flying, and the skiers are happily sliding down Vail Mountain...  In about 6 weeks, we will look for lots of Dartmouth-Tuck alumni and friends to be gathering for a weekend of old Winter CarniVAIL fun on the number one ski mountain in North America, if not the world!  And one of the few to have good snow and skiing this winter....  The old Winter Carnival in Hanover never offered as many opportunities for so much fun and camaraderie in the snow.  Are you scheduled to be there?  If not, what is holding you up?
 
 
The Highlights of CarniVAIL 2007
All Events Are For All Attendees
March 2 - 4  
FRIDAY: Photo Op at the Vista Bahn ( 9:15 AM), Lunch at Sarge's Shelter (12-1 PM) and Cocktails at the Sonnenalp (4:30 - 6 PM);
 
SATURDAY: The Tuck Seminar on Alternative Energy (4:30 - 6+ PM), Cocktails with live music (6-7 PM) & Dinner (7-10 PM) at Manor Vail with a talk by author Charles Sanders on Dartmouth's role in the famous 10th Mountain Division plus a presentation to the DOC by "special guests."
 
SUNDAY: CarniVAIL Dawnbusters ( 7:30 AM) with Brunch (9:30 AM)  at the Game Creek Club! 
One event is not to be missed.... The Saturday night dinner at Manor Vail.  This is going to be a very special evening, topped by a talk by Charles Sanders, author of The Boys of Winter, about Dartmouth alumni exploits with the 10th Mountain Division in World War II, and one young Dartmouth alum who was among the great heroes of his time.  Here is a teaser on how this young man chose Dartmouth as his college in the first place.
"Jake took one look at the Dartmouth Ski Team roster and knew it was the place for him.  It was the Who's Who of college ski racing, probably of all time..... Though Olympians Ted Hunter, Linc Washburn and Warren Chivers were among the stars who had graduated after leading the team to near sweeps of the U.S. collegiate races over the previous four seasons, Howard Chivers, Charles McLane, Percy Rideout, and Olympians Dick Durrance and John Litchfield all remained.......  So off Jake went that fall to join the legendary Dartmouth ski circus." 
A number of members of Jake's family will be in attendance to add a special touch to this magical evening.   And the final part of the evening will include a very special presentation to the DOC.
 
And here is some additional good news.  Thanks to some additional donations to CarniVAIL, we have been able to reduce the cost per head of the Saturday night cocktails and dinner at Manor Vail from $115 to $85 so there is no excuse.  You won't want to miss this opportunity to remember one of Dartmouth's fallen heroes, and learn how Dartmouth alumni contributed to one of the great stories in US military history.
 
In addition, we have generated a number of discount opportunities for you to take advantage of to make your visit even more pleasant.  These are listed below.... 1) Ski Ticket Coupons to reduce the cost of daily or multi-day ski tickets, 2) Rides from Denver and Eagle Vail Airports to Vail and nearby locations via Colorado Mountain Express, 3) Reduced charges for hiring Ski Instructors, 4) A way to obtain the latest in ski goggles at half price, 5) Ski equipment rentals at the Gorsuch Store in Vail Village,  6) Multi night lodging discount at Manor Vail Resort, and 7) Possible use of free Mountain Hosts for 1-2 hours to give you a brief guided tour of parts of the mountain. 
 
We hope to see you at the Vista Bahn at about 9 AM on Friday, Morning, March 1....  We'll kick off this "ski circus" with what we hope will be another record setting CarniVAIL photo shot at 9:15 AM, and then head up mountain....
 
Best regards from Vail,
