Introduction |
On the road from the Kodiak state airport to Anton Larsen Bay, up in the pass, there is today a ski chalet. This is a modern structure. The Fort Greely (Army) Ski Chalet on this site was officially opened in February, 1943. (There had been an earlier chalet at the present location of Communications Station building T1.) It was operated by the American Red Cross. Sometime after the Army left at the end of 1944, the Navy assumed operation of the chalet.
