Friends of the Alpine Ski community, the Arctic Winter Games are seeking your support and have an exciting opportunity for you to experience the 2023 Arctic Winter Games!

The Arctic Winter Games is a high profile circumpolar sport competition for northern and arctic athletes.  The Games provide an opportunity to strengthen sport development in the participants’ jurisdictions, to promote the benefits of sport, to build partnerships, and to promote culture and values.  The Games celebrate sport, social exchange and cultures. The Games provide an opportunity for the developing athlete to compete in friendly competition while sharing cultural values from northern regions around the world.  From January 29-February 4, 2023 Wood Buffalo will welcome approximately 2,100 participants, coaches, mission staff and officials from eight contingents involving 20 Sports for the 2023 Arctic Winter Games (AWG).  Participating contingents are the Yukon, NWT, Alaska, Northern Alberta, Nanavut, Nunavik, Greenland and the Sami (Indigenous) people of Finland, Sweden and Norway.

Unsurprisingly, to start the season, some of the top names in junior racing and the fastest skiers of the 2021-22 NorAm circuit returned to the limelight in the opening Stifel Success NorAm races.

With a later start to the season, the ladies raced on good winter conditions during the series-opening competitions in Copper Mountain, CO. Predictably, It was a battle between USA and Canada for the top spots that wonderfully included some surprising come-backs. Read more.
