Statewide 2021 Bring Back the Light Event - Girdwood joins with a headlamp ski!  Meet at Our Lady of the Snows parking lot for a ski, bike, or walk with light on the trails. COVID-19 Pandemic has been long and difficult, but Alaskans have shown considerable strength and continue to adapt and care for each other. Step outside (& ski!) and shine a light in honor of all those who have lost their lives and loved ones or have experienced hardship or loss. Express gratitude and help us bring back the light. Meet below the pkg lot and head out on the groomed trails for a one hour loop. Go at your own pace and time - or go from your door with others if you cannot make it. Get involved and help - share photos or videos bringing back the light using the hashtag #WithYouAlaska....

The trails are ready for your gliding skis and staggered celebration. Join GNSC in spirit and in person around the shortest day of the year. The 1.6 K loop will be beautifully lit tonight, December 21st from 5-9 PM. Come ski the loop alone or with friends. To keep the congregating to a minimum we will not have a fire pit or refreshments, but encourage everyone to come ski at their own pace and see the lights on the shortest day of the year. The trails are in and the skiing is great in Girdwood!...
