2/5 Alaska Ski for Women

Come watch the Alaska Ski for Women as it takes over Kincaid Park in an annual event held on Super Bowl Sunday. Participants don elaborate, colorful costumes for there race, making it an amazing spectator event as well. Ski for Women has a twofold mission: encourage women of all ages and abilities to take part in an organized Nordic skiing event, and raise money to support local nonprofit organizations that provide safe harbor and support services for women and children affected by domestic abuse. Held at Kincaid Park Time: 8:00 a.m. Contact: 907-276-7609.

2/24-3/4 Fur Rendezvous

Celebrate winter like nowhere else. Alaska's largest and oldest winter festival features tons of fun events. Last year Yukigassen joined fan favorites and zany events that include outhouse races, snowshoe softball and the Running of the Reindeer, a mass dash down Fourth Avenue with sprinting caribou giving chase. These are just a few of the delights in store at Rondy in 2012. Contact: 907-274-1177.

2/3-4 The Capitol Steps

In no way mean-spirited, their hilarious musical satire takes potshots at the outrageous goings-on in Washington, unafraid to say in public what most of us are thinking! Held at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. Contact: 907-263-ARTS.
