Team Alaska, with 270 young competitors, includes four Juneau snowshoers using traditional wooden snowshoes laced with animal sinew. Fifteen-year-old Sigrid Eller is among them, ensuring her snowshoes stay secure for the races. Juneau sends 29 athletes to compete in various sports, with 9 teams joining from the U.S., Canada, Greenland, and Scandinavia. Russia is absent due to its invasion of Ukraine.
