AK Skimeister Challenge The 1st Annual Skimeister Challenge will be held on April 13th, 2013. The Skimeister Challenge is a fundraising event for the Challenge Alaska Competition Program & Alyeska Ski Club Juniors and Devos Programs. Both are non-profit organizations dedicated to providing affordable skiing and riding opportunities to the youth of South-Central Alaska and people with disabilities. Our #1 goal with the Skimeister is to bring the entire winter ski community together to share our appreciation for winter recreation. A ‘skimeister’ is defined as a skier with the best all-around performance in a downhill, slalom, cross-country, and jumping competition.  The opportunity to declare a Skimeister must involve multiple feats of skiing not just one element. Who will hold the title of Skimeister of Alaska? Will it be a Nordic, Back-Country…

Bill is hard at work on the new land south of Skyview.  He is about half way thru a new trail that connects into the Squirrel and heads toward the Highway.  The new trail needs a new name. We name our trails after Alaskan animals.  Please walk, run or ride it over the next few weeks and send us your name suggestions at tsalteshi@yahoo.com.  Click the title to see a map.
