On Saturday 12/30, we had the HS team out there skiing the hardened lower section leaving the lodge. Coverage there is excellent. We had them come back on the upper section close to the road. It has some bare spots and creeks, but we patched many and had other rec...

Exposed dirt, rocks, and running water on most of the trail. An expert skier could make their way around a short counter clockwise loop starting from the lodge trailhead and have the ability to make split second decisions going...

Eaglecrest has plenty of new soft snow and while the lower loop is not yet groomed, the classic touring is very nice. Skier set tracks are easy to follow, minimal hazards and no creek crossings. PLEASE do not walk on the nordic trail and keep your dog at home. You can...Dec 27, 2023 | Eaglecrest
Update from the Eaglecrest grooming crew — I do appreciate an honest conditions report that doesn’t sugarcoat things! The good news is that temps have dropped to 26 at the EC base and the forecast calls for snow tonight and tomorrow. — Jack K. Good Morning Nordic...Dec 24, 2023 | Eaglecrest
I skate skied the lower loop around midday. It was a challenge! A rounded hump down the center of the skate lane with surprise soft spots on the sides. Soft spots are forming in unexpected places down the center, even on the hardened trail. Ski with caution. Classic...Dec 24, 2023 | Eaglecrest
Went up this morning to refresh the lower loop. I did NOT groom it as I would have made it worse. There is a bit of a rain crust with softer snow underneath. Not the best skiing. If you go suggest skate or touring skis and poles with larger baskets. Wishing you the...Dec 22, 2023 | Eaglecrest
Just got down from setting a decent classic and skate track at the lower loop. If you a Jonesing for a night ski it will not disappoint. Will freshen it up in the morningDec 22, 2023 | Eaglecrest
We are assisting EC today and tomorrow to make a limited portion of the lower loop skiable. As of 10am the hardened trail section has been rolled. Will be back this afternoon to run the ginzu and hopefully set a classic track. If you are out there watch out for...Dec 22, 2023 | Eaglecrest
Update from Eaglecrest: Good Morning Nordic Fans! There is some work to be done on the lower Nordic trail this morning. We are working to get a cat out there and check the snow depth this morning. There is quite a breakable crust currently and conditions are...Dec 21, 2023 | Eaglecrest
The lower loop was in terrible shape this morning. Thick breakable snowpack made for slow going and treacherous downhills. Once I made it to the meadow I could ski-set a track that was okay. I had to sidestep one steep downhill coming out of the meadow. Scott tried to...Dec 20, 2023 | Eaglecrest
Eaglecrest has officially begun operations and the lower loop is starting to show signs of packing and grooming. This means that winter season rules for the nordic trails are now in force, which means NO FOOT TRAFFIC and NO DOGS on the lower and upper loops....Dec 20, 2023 | Eaglecrest
Eaglecrest says they have groomed the hardened sections of the lower loop for skate skiing. I don’t think they set a classic track, and the surface may be a little on the soft side since it is the first snowcat grooming of the season. Enjoy! — Jack K.Dec 19, 2023 | Eaglecrest
A barely breakable crust made for a pretty darn enjoyable, classic Ski experience this afternoon. Bring your wide ski pole baskets!
