Roller Ski Awareness Day

June 1st, 2024 marks the 4th annual Rollerski Awareness Day for the City of Anchorage.

APU Nordic Ski Centers’ Rollerski Awareness Day heightens education about the safety for our athletes training on roads and trails of Anchorage. Fatalities have happened in other communities between rollerskiers and vehicles. Our goal is to prevent accident and injury in our community before they occur. Rollerski Awareness Day is observed by the Mayor and the Municipality of Anchorage through official proclamation to heighten safety awareness for our athletes and Olympians training on the roads and trails of Anchorage. As part of efforts to support this cause and our ski center, the day is commemorated by a 50km rollerski and bike around the Moose Loop.

Following the Rollerski, APU is hosting a free community Safety & Summer Activity Expo from 12 – 3pm! Join us to meet and greet our skiers and Olympians, and enjoy tasty food trucks, FREE popcorn for kids, rollerski and bike safety, bike fix-it workshops, bike helmet fit checks, reflective sticker hand outs, bear spray work shops, demos and live demonstrations, infant and child CPR, boat safety and nautical knot workshops, wilderness first aid and so much more!

Please consider supporting APU Nordic Ski Center and our athletes on June 1st and promote the message of safety in our community.
