Every spring, middle and high school students from the Interior and coast gather for the Western Interior Ski Association invitational, a three day ski meet that includes biathlon and relay races. This year’s event was hosted by the Unalakleet School where a 1.4 kilometer course was crafted. Up to six students from this year’s race will represent WISA at the Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse next March.
