ABOUT THE CAUSE
Why participate in the Alaska Ski for Women? This is not only a FUN event, it is a FUNdraising event! The Alaska Ski for Women supports the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage and Alaska non-profits working to end the cycle of domestic violence in our community.

History: The Alaska Ski for Women (ASFW) was started in 1997 by the event’s Founding Mothers: Sally Burkholder and the late Ann Mize. Ann and Sally, both very accomplished skiers, noticed a lot of women frequently used our world-class Anchorage ski trails but did not come out for local ski races. Ann and Sally set forth to create a fun event that would offer solutions to the problems women often encounter that hinder their race participation; for example, having no partner to ski with, course uncertainties, and unwaxed skis. The ASFW was developed for women to enjoy skiing with friends, the course is clearly marked and decorated, free ski waxing is provided, and it is a fun and relaxing atmosphere for skiers of all abilities to participate.
