2020 Eagle Glacier
world-class training center Thanks to the
perseverance of former Olympian Jim Galanes, the
old Eagle Glacier training center has been
completely renovated and turned into the official
training center for the U.S. Ski Team, the U.S.
Nordic Combined Ski Team and the elite program
Galanes coaches at Alaska Pacific University. Now
called the Thomas Training Center, the complete
makeover was funded by a $500,000 U.S. Department
of Agriculture grant secured by Sen. Ted Stevens
and a $1 million endowment from the Lowell Thomas
Jr. Family. The facility is now owned by APU's
Nordic Skiing Center.
