In other news in the alpine world, the Eaglecrest Ski Area in Juneau and Alpenglow ski hill at Arctic Valley outside Anchorage have announced they will honour Mount Sima season pass holders.
“Our organization knows what it’s like to face difficult times so we’re glad to do anything we can to help,” said Anchorage Ski Club president Karen Loeffler.
“We’re only open on the weekends so anyone travelling from Whitehorse won’t be able to get in a lot of days in, but we’d be delighted to see them if they were in the area.”
Mount Sima season pass holders need only to present their pass at the ticket desks to receive their complimentary day of skiing and snowboarding.
