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 various organizations or entities to host their own snow classic events, thereby promoting community engagement and potentially increasing revenue from such activities. The removal of the specific reference to Mount Alyeska and the Four Valleys Community School allows for greater flexibility in how these games of chance can be organized and administered across the state.
