White Ajah Winter Carnival - The Amazing Race!

[Rhea]

Correct!!!  

 

*rolls the dice*

 

*dice rolls off the table...under a chair...out the door...lands on....FIVE!*

 

Wow! You two Mushers are moving fast through the map! Better give those dogs a rest here in Iditarod!

 

[Rhea]

We're more than half way now Mushers!!! It's a race to the end!

 

Answer this question for another roll of the dice and move your team!

 

An average snowfall consisting of 10" of snow will melt down to how many inches of water?

[Niniel]

I guess 5.

[Shad_]

3.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

 

Pretty sure it's 1/3rd...

[eternalangel]

4 inches?

[Rhea]

nope, nope and nope!

 

[Niniel]

2?

[Sooh]

1?

[Elgee]

*High Five's Tina*

 

Though I totally want to take a break in Iditarod. That's just an awesome name!

 

(No idea about inches and snow. The colder it is, the smaller it gets?)

[Rhea]

Sooh! You are correct! 10' of average snowfall melts into 1" of H2O. 

 

Your dogs are tired! Lets see how far you've traveled!

 

*rolls the dice*

 

The dice land on....SIX!

 

Your team heads in for a quick stop in Grayling!

 

[Rhea]

Ok Mushers! You're rested and ready to keep moving!

 

True or False!

 

Chionophobia is the persistent fear of snow. 

[Niniel]

I guess true.

[Sooh]

I'll say false then

[Rhea]

Chionophobia is the persistent fear of snow, especially becoming trapped by snow.

The term is derived from the Greek words chion and phobos, meaning “snow” and “fear,” respectively.

 

 

Well, you had a 50/50 chance!

 

Tina & Elgee slide into Ophir!

 

[Rhea]

This is going to be a tough one!

 

Be the first Musher to answer this question for another roll of the dice and the chance to move up to six towns ahead!

 

Where were the very first Winter Olympics held in 1924? (City and Country)

 

[Sooh]

Innsbruck, Austria

[Rhea]

That is really close! Innsbruck was 1964. 

[Sooh]

Munich, Germany?

[Guest]

France, Chamonix?

[Rhea]

Sooh....you went the wrong direction! 

 

The first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France, in 1924.

No country in the Southern Hemisphere has hosted, or even been

an applicant to host, the Winter Olympics! Can you believe that!

 

 

Chae and her pups get the roll of the dice! 

 

*rolling*

 

Dice land on.....FIVE!

 

Chae's team pulls her in to Unalakleet! ...and collapses.

 

[Rhea]

For another chance to roll the dice, answer the following question.

 

How many sides do all snowflakes have?

[Sooh]

six

[Rhea]

Mush! That's right!

 

Sooh gets to roll! Do you want to blow on it?

 

 

*rolling*

 

SIX!!!!

 

Sooh and her pups take the lead, cruising into McGrath to check in for the night!

 

 

[Rhea]

I'm going to give another dice roll to the Musher who can answer this one correctly!

 

"He lies in the snow and cries like the thunder! He burns like the sun!"

 

Who said this?

[Mashiara Sedai]

Giatara Sedai, the Keeper of the Chronicles.  Then she died!
