5/19 Report: SOFT!!
Please wait until trail surface hardens to bike or hike. Lower valley trails are ready. Gird to Bird is fun! Support local trails with a “leave no trace” practice!

While most Alaskans have swapped out their skis for bikes and trail shoes, some hardy skiers just won't let go and are still finding fun on snow in May. It's been a pretty, pretty amazing ski season and the final issue of the Alaska Nordic Skier puts a bow on it all! Our clubs recognize the many staff, members, groomers, volunteers and sponsors who made the trails incredible and the winter spectacular, along with some program and race recaps, and even a few sneak peeks into the summer and next ski season! The issue includes:

* Homecoming for Alaska's Winter Olympians met with fun on familiar trails
* Thanking our respective ski communities and leaders for their hard work and support
* Storing your skis this spring makes them skate great next winter
* AK biathletes on target at state, nationals and international events
* A cold start and cool finish at the Sonot Kkaazoot
* Eagle River skier returns to trails and racing glory
* And more!
