Lower Loop good for classic skiing

Lower Loop has 4 inches of snow, good coverage on the gravel trail, some twigs showing in the meadow and off the trail. Skier set classic tracks, need a few more inches of snow for grooming. Snow was sticky in places yesterday, should be better today with temp at 28...
Go to the upper loop!

Go to the upper loop!

20 minutes max hike or ski from the lodge to the upper loop. Go up the side of Sneaky. The meadow is groomed for skate and classic, but is getting heavily skied. The most fun option is to go exploring on the ungroomed but still ski tracked Troy loop, if you...

Groomer

Half of the upper loop is groomed. Great conditions. Skate and classic

Groomer

Half of Upper loop is groomed. Classic and skate. Looked good from the seat of the snow machine. Lots of snow on road for skiing up. Will try to groom again tomorrow morning. Peter

Upper Loop

Rumor has it the grooming fairy visited the Upper Loop this afternoon and put in a little classic track with some skate on the side. Thank you, grooming fair!

Eaglecrest lower loop is open and still has a foot of snow

To clarify the last post, the Eaglecrest closure for hiking up and skiing was for the mountain, not the lower loop. I skied the lower loop late Wednesday and although the 5 inch rainfall shrank the snowpack from 2 feet to a bit over a foot and there are a few bare...

Eaglecrest Lower Loop 11/30 830 am

Lone skier at Eaglecrest Lower Loop this morning. Very hard snow with just a dusting of snow on top but just loose enough so I could snow plow going down the hills when I needed to get out of the tracks. Nordic track good!

Lower Loop Business Time

Recycling is Important!, But so is nordic grooming. Lower loop got the cat scratch fever going! It is snowing and blowing up there so get it while it is fresh.

Lower Loop rutted icy hazardous

Friday the Lower Loop had ruts, ice balls, and dips that made skate or classic skiing challenging. Touring skis and poles are the best bet for lower off piste and upper loop powder/off piste.

Eaglecrest Upper Loop – VR45 kick wax

VR 45 (blue extra) kick wax worked very well on the upper loop. It is easier to hike up Sneaky and then ski down the road. Trickster is not packed and has too many surprises for good skiing.

Eaglecrest upper loop beautiful classic skiing!

Classic skiing on the upper loop was perfect this morning. Not freshly groomed but you can still follow the groomed trail through a cold light layer of snow. Many other classic skiers have put in their own tracks that are easy to follow. The Troy loop is especially...

Fun skiing on lower loop!

The classic track was pretty darn fun this morning. Well set track on the hardened trail and a bit rougher track on the rest of the loop is still fun skiing. Skate skiing is possible despite new snow on track. I believe the same conditions can be found on the upper...

Eaglecrest Conditions

Groomed with the upper and lower trails with the snowcat. Classic track is set. Lower trail section is the hardened section of trail, plus a little bit more. The upper section is a partial loop. We need your support this season. Please remember to purchase a Nordic...
