Under a sunny sky and with great trail conditions, about 20 racers came out to ski the 3rd annual Miles Klehini Classic Ski Race at 25 Mile. The Haines Ski and Hike Club is grateful to the following for supporting the race: James Alborough of Bear Star Web Design for updating our website, http://www.haineski.org; Leslie Ross and Haines Borough tourism for advertising, prizes, T-shirts, and food; the Chilkat Valley News for advertising; Lutak Lumber for marking paint; Alaska Backcountry Outfitter for safety equipment; and the Port Chilkoot Distillery, Haines Brewing Co., Sockeye Cycle, Sarah J’s, Chilkat Valley News, and the Southeast Alaska State Fair for donating prizes. Jim and Deb Stanford set a beautiful course, as they have been doing for Chilkat Valley skiers all winter. Especially, thanks to community members who came out to race. Participation helps raise funds to groom great ski trails for everyone to enjoy. Miles of smiles!
