Photographers Christian and Jonathan Kozowyk captured the color and excitement of the annual Dartmouth Winter Carnival in Hanover, New Hampshire, for a 2011 Yankee Magazine feature. Dubbed “the Mardi Gras of the North,” the event includes ski competitions, a polar bear swim, a cappella and jazz concerts, human dogsled race, snow sculptures, and so much more.
