The Grand Parade had commenced and the Sunday morning pancakes had been eaten, but there was one final quest remaining for the Whitefish Winter Carnival royalty come Sunday afternoon: the quest for snow.

Despite the astonishingly warm temperatures, there was still fun to be had at the Carnival Classic, a community ski day hosted by Glacier Nordic Club, on Sunday, Feb. 8.
