Eaglecrest is in prime condition!

Lower and upper loops fully groomed for skate and classic. Plenty of new trail added to the lower loop, including the ever popular Guy’s Hill! Soft new snow on groomed trail. Classic is better than skate with all the fresh snow.

Lower loop 98% fully groomed

All connecting inner and outer sections of meadow loop now groomed. Guy’s Hill groomed but missing one short section from Forest trail leading to meadow. Beautiful skiing between 9:30 and 11 but trail was buried after that. Still good skiing. Windy in meadow! Upper...

Classic track groomed deep and firm, skate track perfectly tilled and skiing fast on the lower loop. I didn’t get to the upper loop today but I’m sure it continues to ski well. Considering everything that mountain ops has had to deal with this week,...

Like Betsy says, No new grooming until Wednesday. We have to say that this weekend, the grooming on the upper and lower loop was fabulous. Snow is firm for skating and conditions great for classic. Green Glide and Blue Kick! Thanks Eaglecrest.

The full upper loop is groomed for skate and classic. All pieces of the puzzle are now complete. Skiing is very good and the hike (or ski) up Trickster warms you up perfectly. Lower loop groomed for skate and classic. Still needs more snow for completion of all trails...

Did you ski the upper loop today?

Did you ski the upper loop today?

I tried to post this from the upper loop this morning, but my weak connection didn’t allow it. The upper loop was just heavenly this morning! Blue kick wax, perfect tracks, blue skies, silky looking skate track. The groomers will be back at it on Wednesday...

Lower loop is groomed for skate and classic, but watch for low snow conditions (exposed dirt and gravel) in spots off of the hardened trail. Upper loop is in beautiful condition and very fun to ski! Trickster access is smooth going up and coming down. Expect more of...

Good skiing on lower and upper loops

Lower and upper loops groomed for skate and classic. Primo conditions for early birds who catch the fresh groom, pretty darn good later in the day. Connector trails are groomed at each end of the meadow. Low snow conditions still exist on lower loop so watch for dirt...
