If you missed the awards banquet for the 37th Denali State Bank Sonot Kkaazoot, you still have an opportunity to pick up your handmade birch woodel in the small warmup hut at Birch Hill Recreation Center from Tuesday afternoon, 26 March through 3 April 2024.

Mike Schmoker, head woodel maker, will have unclaimed woodels in labeled plastic bags in the log warming hut that is open 24 hours a day. There will be one bag with overall awards for Aiden Summers, Riley Whistler, and Dana Fjare. A second bag will have the age-class woodels for the 10k with 1st, 2nd & 3rd in zip lock bags. There will also be a 30k & a 50k bag with 1st, 2nd & 3rd zip lock bags. There is the list of names in each bag, and we ask that skiers mark off their names when they get their woodels.  

The woodels are highly coveted as were Gina’s pecan, white chocolate cookies, also shown above. However, if you missed the banquet, you missed out on the cookies and Gina’s fabulous soups.
