Juneau Skating Club

Author: Alaska First Media April 10, 2026 Duration: 7:24

The Juneau Skating Club’s Spring Show is an annual event that is open to the public. It is a chance for our Learn to Skate skaters and Figure Skaters to share their love of skating with the Juneau community. Any skater, from our youngest Snowplow Sam Skaters to adults, who has taken a Juneau Skating Club class at any time during the year, is invited to be in our Spring Show.

Each year, we invite one or more guest skaters from outside Juneau to put on a fantastic skating show. Previous year’s themes have included Heroes and Villains, Nursery Rhymes to Fairy Tales, Magic and Mystery, and Beyond the Stars. It’s an event you don’t want to miss!


There's a particular rhythm to life in Juneau, a blend of frontier spirit, deep-rooted culture, and the close-knit dynamics of a capital city surrounded by wilderness. Capital Chat, from Frontier Media USA, settles into that rhythm, offering conversations that feel more like catching up with a well-informed neighbor than a formal broadcast. Each episode delves into the arts, social currents, and community events that define Alaska's capital, moving beyond mere announcements to explore the stories and people behind them. You'll hear from local artists about their creative process, discussions on the social topics shaping the city, and insights into the gatherings that bring residents together. This podcast serves as an audio companion for anyone curious about what truly animates Juneau, from gallery openings and festivals to the everyday initiatives that strengthen community bonds. It’s a thoughtful look at how society and culture intertwine in a unique setting, ensuring that the diverse voices of the city are heard. For those living in or fascinated by Juneau, tuning into this series provides a genuine connection to the city's ongoing narrative.
