SkiAK, which for years has provided technical gear and service to Anchorage’s alpine ski community, announced this week that it’s closing its doors.
The loss of SkiAK will hit the alpine racing community hard, said Paralympic gold medalist Andrew Kurka on Wednesday.“They went above and beyond, and they were extremely helpful for the race community and everyone,” Kurka said. “To see them go is a real bummer.”
“They catered to that and they had great techs,” Kurka said. “So it helped me be victorious not just on the World Cup circuit, but on the international level and as a gold medalist.” Over the years, he said, SkiAK provided donations and reduced prices to support a variety of groups, including racing clubs, Alaska Air National Guard rescue squadrons, Special Olympics Alaska and Challenge Alaska, which provides adaptive recreation at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood.Sell said he doesn’t know when SkiAK’s last day will be. It still has six months on its lease at the Metro Mall in Midtown Anchorage, at 530 E. Benson Blvd., but the gear on hand could be sold well before then, he said.
Sell said he’s talking with people to find a way for his employees to continue using their skills in the industry.
