Core Purpose
Skiku’s core purpose is encouraging and supporting sustainable community-driven ski programs primarily focused on rural Alaska and Alaska Native youth.
Skiku’s two programs serve more than 40 communities across Alaska from Anchorage to villages around Bethel, Aniak, Unalakleet, Nome, Kotzebue, and Utqiaġvik. They work in statewide partnerships with school districts, corporate and community organizations, and volunteer coaches from the broader ski community to foster the health, recreation, and competitive sports benefits of cross-country skiing, biathlon, and summer running.
