Skeetawk
Skeetawk is a nonprofit ski area in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough of Alaska. After 40 years of community proposals to build a downhill ski area in the Hatcher Pass region, ground was broken in 2020. Its first lift, a triple chair, became operational in June of that year, with plans to add a high-speed lift by 2029. Skeetawk played host to the alpine skiing and snowboarding events in the 2024 [Arctic Winter Games]. It was named after the Athabaskan word Shk’ituk’t, meaning ‘the place where we slide down’.
