Thank you everyone for attending the Miles of Smiles Memorial Ski Race last weekend! We had 13 children and 14 adults compete in the race and many more come out to help and support the ski club! I want to thank all the following businesses for donating prizes for the event: Miles Furniture, Outfitter Sporting Goods, Mountain Market, Alaska Backcountry Outfitter, Sarah J’s, Alaska Fjordlines, Southeast Alaska State Fair and Southeast Alaska Backcountry Adventures. A special thanks to Jim and Deb Stanford for grooming the trail and to Jon Hirsh, Bill Holton, Tom Morphet, Dan Egolf, Ray and Connie Staska, Reuben Loewen and Leslie Ross for helping with the race. We appreciate all the support in the community and are excited about a future full of snow and skiing.
