es, it is winter in Alaska—and the holidays are here—and as Frank Loesser wrote in his 1944 classic song, baby, it’s cold outside! Unfortunately—so is COVID-19. Two years of living through the realities of a pandemic has been diffi cult for everyone. #CoronaLife #InThisTogether

Fortunately, business in Alaska has been remarkably resilient. Even as some companies have folded, numerous others have opened their doors or even expanded and grown. Alaska Business’ opportunity to be an advocate for business in Alaska is a blessing. We know we have been fortunate, and that’s thanks to you: our readers and advertisers. 

So, whether your plans for the holidays are playing in the snow or soaking up the sun, take solace in the fact that Alaskans are resilient, and we have, and will, make it through whatever gets thrown our way. We are ever optimistic about the future of business in Alaska.

From all of us at Alaska Business Publishing Company, we wish you warmth and joy this holiday season and happiness and prosperity in the new year.
