Governor Hickel embraced the concept and the Arctic Winter Games Corporation, now the Arctic Winter Games International Committee, was formed in 1968. The First Games The first Games, held in Yellowknife in 1970, were attended by 500 athletes, participants and coaches. The 2004 Games were hosted in Wood Buffalo, Alberta and were joined for the first time by the Saami people of Sweden, Finland Yamal, and the combined Saami team An International Celebration million dollars into the Kenai Peninsula economy in March, a traditionally slow and Norway, making the Games a truly from Norway, Sweden and Finland.

When I was little, in the days before DVDs, we had something called a Viewmaster. It was a miniature projector that allowed you to look at photographic slides embedded in little round cards that rotated through the device. My favorite card was of Alaska. I must have looked a thousand times at the photos of mountains, tundra, Native villages, and wildlife. I also heard the stories of my father and his buddies who came north to ski and climb.

Our contingent finished forth in the medal standings with a much younger group of people than in previous Games, and their general behavior and attitude was exceptional. As always there are a number of interesting challenges throughout the journey, but it only made the Games more memorable in the eyes of many. Our thanks and appreciation are extended to the 2006 Host Society, the communities of Girdwood, Homer, Kenai, & Soldotna, AWG International Committee, and all of the dedicated sponsors, partners, and volunteers who will be remembered for their tremendous hospitality and commitment to the Games movement.
