Lower Loop

Feb 9, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Lower loop groomed for skate only. No classic track set. Lots of snow. I tried classic skiing on the corduroy but snow was very sticky, so lots of kick and no glide! Could be I need a waxing, but if you want to classic ski, I think the lake or campground are better...

Lower loop groomed for skate

Feb 8, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Nice even skate track on lower loop. No classic track, but conditions are just soft enough for easy classic skiing. Hope to get the classic track going ASAP, but mountain ops just received a new track setter and have not hooked it up yet. I’m working on...

Lower Loop

Feb 7, 2023 | Eaglecrest

3 to 10 inches fresh fluffy snow on the ungroomed lower loop. Much more fun slogging through the powder in the sun on the lower loop today than through the slush in the snain on the lake yesterday! Should be fantastic when they (hopefully) groom...

Upper loop and part of lower loop groomed

Feb 3, 2023 | Eaglecrest

The lower nordic loop groomed on the hardened trail only with no classic track. Be sure to keep an eye out for icy spots and rocks under the new snow. The upper loop has been groomed for both classic and skate skiing. There is very little snow remaining on Trickster...

The upper loop has been groomed for both classic and skate skiing. There is very little snow remaining on Trickster so prepare to walk without skis on over the washout at the base for upper nordic access. Conditions should be a little softer than last week with new...

Upper Loop Status

Jan 28, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Eaglecrest groomer Jake made multiple passes this morning. The snow was like concrete so it was very challenging to loosen it up. I followed with the JNSC groomer and was able to set an ok classic track. Between Jake and I there were 5 machine hours of grooming done...

Eaglecrest Upper Loop Plan

Jan 27, 2023 | Eaglecrest

I will be working with Eaglecrest’s groomer Jake to set a sweet (hopefully) track on the upper loop. The plan is for him to use the Pisten Bully’s tiller to break up the concrete and I will follow him to set a classic track as there is a JNST Middle and...

Posted on today’s conditions report on the Eaglecrest website: The upper and lower nordic loops were not groomed last night in order to protect our limited snowpack. There is very little snow remaining on Trickster so prepare to walk without skis on over the...

Lower Loop Not Skiable

Jan 25, 2023 | Eaglecrest

All the nice snow there yesterday washed away in the rain. Now it’s a skating rink with bare spots, so not skiable.

Lower Loop

Jan 24, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Lower loop is surely skiable for touring. It’s not groomed, but there’s a decent set of tracks laid down from others. I skied the outer trail only along the road up to the turn at the top by the parking lot and then back along the creek. I didn’t ski...

Thanks to the groomer formerly know as the Pioneer Road Prince, we had great skiing on the lower loop yesterday. 2-4” of heavy wet stuff last night made for great touring today!

Excellent skiing on upper loop trails. Skate and classic are both excellent! The FULL Troy loop is back, with a fun rollercoaster ride down the big hill. Watch for a few holes that opened up after yesterday’s rain storm.
