Largest Ski Fence In Alaska.

Largest Ski Fence In Alaska

It all started in 1993 when Pat Harmon, a lifelong Alaskan, took 20 pairs of discarded skis from the annual Juneau Ski Club ski swap and started a ski fence at the edge of his property. Harmon's upcycling obsession grew until, by 2005, his fence had become a three-story wall of vintage skis. The Harmon Ski Wall is a point of pride among most locals, and has attracted visitors from all over the U.S., and as far away as Europe and Asia.
