The Arctic Winter Games is a unique and worthwhile event. Two positions on the AWG team are reserved for the top male and top female skier from Western Alaska Championships held the previous March. Depending on the age class of these athletes, the next 3, instead of 4, positions will be selected from the points list. In 2020, there is only one slot taken by the above mentioned athlete.
