More than 600 women and girls signed up to participate in the Alaska Ski for Women held at Kincaid Park on Sunday. Fresh snow and windy conditions made the groomed trails a little more difficult. The event supports the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage and nonprofits working to stop domestic violence in Alaska. A costume contest was held after the freestyle and classic ski races.
