Snowshoeing events were held at Chugiak High School during the 1996 Arctic Winter Games.
About 40 people are expected to attend, plus some from Canada who are participating remotely due to COVID-19 restrictions in that country. Now the borough joins past Alaska hosts Anchorage, the Kenai Peninsula, Fairbanks and Chugiak/Eagle River to put on games that focus not only on athleticism but camaraderie and cultural heritage.
Amid pandemic precautions last year, Mat-Su became the first host to use a virtual tour to present a location for review.attract up to 2,000 participants, about 1,000 support staff and others, and another 2,000 volunteers. Quade said athletes will stay in a “village” centered in Palmer, making use of area schools that are empty during spring break. Venues include Wasilla’s Curtis D. Menard Sports Complex, Glenn Massay Theater at Mat-Su College, and local high school gyms and auditoriums, as well as Government Peak Recreation Area and Skeetawk ski area in Hatcher Pass.
The Valley also lacks a biathlon range, Quade said. Other options are using an established range at Kincaid Park or building a temporary one in Mat-Su.Borough officials say their ability to host the games was boosted by recent additions to the Valley’s winter sports attractions including Skeetawk and Government Peak. The Menard center includes an ice rink, a soccer field and capacity for 5,000 guests.
