The bill amends the definition of "snow classic" in Alaska law to broaden its scope. Previously, the term was limited to a specific event, the Alyeska Snow Classic, which was operated and administered by Four Valleys Community School, Inc. The new language removes this limitation, allowing for a more general interpretation of snow classics as games of chance where participants guess the total snow accumulation at a designated location on a specific date and time.

This change aims to expand the opportunities for snow classic events beyond the previously established framework, potentially encouraging more community engagement and participation in such games of chance throughout the state. The removal of the specific reference to Mount Alyeska and the administering organization signifies a shift towards a more inclusive approach to snow-related guessing games.
