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 amendment reflects a shift towards inclusivity in the definition, allowing for various organizations or individuals to host their own snow classic events.
