Community Support

 

We carry our mission out into Anchorage and the surrounding communities by helping with activities such as trail improvements, race crew support, wax clinics and other annual community service events. Additionally, we recognize that AWS athletes are not just skiers, but developing human beings who can learn the importance of serving the community  from which they receive so much benefit.

When possible we assist on a needs basis, non-AWS skiers who have reached national and international levels of competition.  This aid might be financial, informational, or it might take some other form.
