Lower loop water park!

Jan 2, 2023 | Eaglecrest

The lower loop is still skiable, but water hazards exist. Watch for open water spots and streams with running water that go across the trail. The upper loop is probably holding up much better.

Despite the wind and rain at sea level, the upper Loop is great! A little windy the snow is falling. Skate is fast and classic looks decent too

Happy New Year from the upper loop!

Freshly groomed for skate and classic. Trails groomed include inner and outer meadow loops; connector loop from meadow over towards Troy loop; Troy loop on skier’s right; Black Bear hill. Trails are smooth and fast! Access via Trickster using the hike/skin...

Upper loop is amazing!

All the meadow loops are groomed, Black Bear hill and right side of Troy loop groomed. Wide smooth skate lane and good classic track. There’s a decent hiking/skin path beaten in up Trickste.

Lower loop good for classic turing

Dec 30, 2022 | Eaglecrest

I skied in a classic track on the lower loop in the fresh snow this morning. The trail is very forgiving than the past few days and it is pleasant ski touring. We may have fresh grooming by tomorrow if the snow continues.

Upper Loop Groomed

Skated at the upper loop this morning. It was pretty good. Only about 65% of the available terrain was groomed. No classic track. wc

No fresh grooming – thin snow cover

Dec 28, 2022 | Eaglecrest

The lower loop snow cover is very thin and Eaglecrest made the wise decision to not take the snowcat out on the trail yesterday so as not to expose more rocks. The track is still set for skate and classic but it is rough and conditions are fast. Watch for hazards. The...

Eaglecrest upper loop access

Dec 26, 2022 | Eaglecrest

Trickster is not groomed but you can herringbone up on the ungroomed snow, no problem. The more skiers who go up there the better the path will be. Coming down is another story. I recommend walking down the side of Sneaky on skier’s right since the ungroomed...

Upper loop update

Dec 26, 2022 | Eaglecrest

Access upper loop via Trickster and then herringbone uphill. Walker’s may punch through in places. Good skate track in meadow and right side of Troy Loop.

Upper and lower loops groomed

Dec 26, 2022 | Eaglecrest

Lower loop groomed for skate and classic on hardened trail only. About 4km roundtrip. Conditions are fast. Watch for rocks and wet spots. Upper loop groomed for skate, no classic track.

Lower loop groomed for skate

Dec 24, 2022 | Eaglecrest

A 4km loop is groomed for skate skiing. Beautiful corduroy this morning. No classic track but the classic skiing is still good. Watch for rocks! If you see a dark shape on the trail there’s a 98% chance it’s a rock. Santa is going to take a look at the upper loop...

Eaglecrest lower loop hardened and ready for new snow

Dec 22, 2022 | Eaglecrest

I had a chance to walk the lower loop today and admired the grooming work from last week on the thin snow cover. The surface is quite hard – my boot prints were barely visible. Some rocks showing on the far end of the meadow. The moment we get a little new snow...
