Faced with a frigid winter that seems like it’ll never end, UW–Madison turned to the Hoofer Winter Carnival for a much-needed jolt of fun during the past week. From a snowboarding rail jam to a snowman building to hockey games on Lake Mendota, we found ways to enjoy the season — while hoping it soon comes to an end. University Communications photographer Bryce Richter followed the bone-chilling action.
