Skeetawk is a nonprofit ski area in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough of Alaska. After 40 years of community proposals to build a downhill ski area in the Hatcher Pass region, ground was broken in 2020.[2] Its first lift, a triple chair, became operational in June of that year, with plans to add a high-speed lift by 2029.[3] Skeetawk played host to the alpine skiing and snowboarding events in the 2024 Arctic Winter Games.[4] It was named after the Athabaskan word Shk’ituk’t, meaning ‘the place where we slide down’.[5]
