One of many bridges.
Also
big news from Assemblyman Jim Colver. He will be requesting
$800 K for power to the parking lot, parking lot lights, and
(wait for it, wait for it....)
a Warm-Up
Hut/Transit Facility/Community Center!
The new building with have a garage for the grooming equipment,
flush toilets, and a heated place for skiers to warm up.
The power to the parking lot area will provide for future
lighting of the trails.
Jim and the Mat-Su Ski Club need your help.
Jim will be

The future of skiing in the Valley is about to change in a big way. The The Mat-Su Ski Club is entering into an agreement with the Mat-Su Borough for development of Nordic ski trails on the south side of Government Peak. The development of these trails will require a lot of volunteer effort from members of the Mat-Su Ski Club. Please set aside some time for trail development this coming spring, summer and fall. See the press release from the Borough . Powering the Nordic Center
Jeremy Maxie and Christina Parkinson recently completed the Report "Renewable Energy Feasibility Study for the Hatcher Pass
Nordic Center" for their class project in Engineering 494 G at University of Alaska Anchorage. You can see their report in the attachments below.
This study focused on solar and wind, but we hope to look
at hydro in the next year, and further refine by site specific locations if wind energy is deemed feasible.
