IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL:
2024 is the final year Dave Cramer and his long-time dedicated crew at Summit Consulting Services are scheduling, organizing, and coordinating the Alaska Mountain Wilderness Ski Classic (for the March 31 - April 10, 2024 event).
This announcement does not, by any means, preclude continuation of the Classic.
In fact, over the past 37 years, a number of different participant-enthusiasts have made this event happen, even when organization was minimal and communications less sophisticated.
However, in 1997, Dave's volunteer involvement as the event director represented a turning point. Route selection, planning, announcements, registrations/approvals, land use permitting, insurance, start/finish accommodations and meals, and transportation logistics all became more formalized and predictable for everyone involved. In short, event continuity developed due to Dave's steady leadership for 27 (going-on 28) consecutive years.
Looking ahead to 2025, a new event director and organizing structure will be needed in order to keep this unique, incredible experience alive and thriving. Be assured the role of event director/coordinator is a significant yet very rewarding commitment.
Those interested in "carrying the torch" are encouraged to contact Dave at Summit Consulting to find out more information. He and his staff will be happy to share all the details regarding what is required to plan and execute the winter Classic, start to finish:
