Ski for Relief-Anchorage: 2018
We have the choice to ski, or not. In some hot regions of the world: Burma and Iraq, despite some political progress, many ethnic people have no choice but to run from their oppressors. On February 3, 2018 at noon on the Hillside trails,skiers have the choice of techniques- skate or classic- to ski for oppressed people in Sudan, Kurdistan Iraq and Burma. Besh Cup #5 rescheduled from Fairbanks to Anchorage will not conflict with the Ski for Relief. Be encouraged by athlete-skier-pastor Mike Merriner at lunch. Choose to Ski!
