Registration is now open for the 31st annual Buckwheat Ski Classic. The cross-country ski race will be held on March 25 on the Log Cabin Ski Trails north of Skagway and include 50K, 25K and 10K classic races as well as a 5K kids race.<\/p>\n
This year’s race will feature Dr. Seuss-themed aid station and race shirts. A best costume wward will be presented after the event based on the theme: “Oh, the Places You’ll Ski!” The prize will be a tour package to Skagway’s Upper Dewey Lake cabin.<\/p>\n
The race is a fundraiser for Log Cabin Ski Society, which maintains the ski trails all winter with equipment and about 150 volunteers during race week. A record 449 skiers registered last year.<\/p>\n
