Blog Archive Friday Factoid Dartmouth-Tuck Embraces the Cold The thought of spending the winters in Hanover, New Hampshire, home of Dartmouth Colleges Tuck School of Business, may send shivers down your spine. But those who tough it out and embrace the cold can discover some rewarding winter experiences, like ice hockey and downhill skiing. From beginners to seasoned veterans, 150 students participate in ice hockey games organized by the Tuck Hockey Club each year. Never played? Not to worry, teams are organized by skill level, so you can find a team of hockey players who won’t  care if  you trip over the blueline (that is ice hockey lingoyou will learn!). Meanwhile, the Dartmouth Ski and Boarding Club takes advantage of the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme, New Hampshire, and organizes trips beyond campus as well. The clubs major event is   the 600-person Tuck Winter Carnival held at the Skiway each year, which brings students together from top business schools to compete for the Kneissl Cup. Among the clubs other activities are ice skati ng, an 80s Ski Bash, a hot-dog eating contest and a party at a nearby club.   At Tuck, you just might be too busy working up a sweat to fret about the cold.
