Cross Country Alaska

Another fun event this spring down in Girdwood and hosted by KMTA!

Attention Nordic skiers! The Corduroy Crush is officially back. Last year we had to cancel the event due to a bummer winter and lack of snow, but this year our odds look good for a 2026 comeback.

Join us April 12 in Girdwood for a family-friendly spring ski race on the 5K loop. Celebrate the joy of nordic skiing while helping raise funds for local youth outdoor education programs. Kids 12 and under ski free!
