U. of Alaska Alpine Ski Team Spared After $628K Raised

Paul Steinbach Headshot

The University of Alaska Board of Regents on Friday voted to reinstate the school's alpine ski team, which regents had previously eliminated along with hockey and gymnastics due to budget cuts.

As reported by the Anchorage Daily News, skiing survived by meeting terms set by regents when they voted to kill the three sports at a Sept. 10 meeting. Reinstatement was possible, the regents said, for any team capable of raising two years’ of operating expenses by their February board meeting. Though the hockey team ($3 million) and gymnastic team ($880,000) remain far from their goals with one month to go, the ski team reached its target — $628,000 — by Christmas.
