The Big Picture
The last day of Snowkings' Winter Festival XXXI “was arguably the biggest day ever in the castle's 31 years,” writes festival president Freeze Frame, aka Bill Braden. “Prompted by the warmest day of the whole 28-day season, hundreds of loyal Yellowknifers and awestruck tourists turned out to experience the art deco castle and majestic snow carvings in all their glory - and oh, the line-ups for the ice slides!” Jay Bulckaert/Artless Collective
