Three-year-old Karsyn Thompson went for a spin at the Lions Park outdoor skating rink on Sunday afternoon with her father Eric.

As temperatures dropped to -3 degrees Celsius and lower on Sunday afternoon, a light dusting of snow blanketed the Kootenays. Undeterred, several Nelson families made their way to the outdoor rink at Lions Park, including outdoor enthusiast Karsyn Thompson, 3, who took her bright pink sled for a spin with her father Eric.

Nearby, youngsters and adults enjoyed a friendly game of ice hockey while their dogs watched patiently from the sidelines.

Temperatures are forecast to hover around 0 degrees all week, with clouds, rain and snow expected.
