Banff Mount Norquay Cardboard Sled Races

On January 27th we enjoyed watching young people in the annual Cardboard Sled Derby. Apparently the rules are that each sled can only be constructed with cardboard, plastic garbage bags, paper and tape. Costumes added to the theme. Prize categories included highest velocity and best animation during the run. The following videos captured some of the excitement.

This was the first heat. We were all amazed at the speed of the leading sled which eventually won the "Velocity Prize"
