Lower loop perfection continues

Lower loop continues to be just perfect for skate or classic skiing. Please take a moment to thank the Eaglecrest groomers for a job well done! You can stop by the ticket window to leave a good word. Don’t forget to buy a nordic trail pass, too!

Fantastic

Lower loop fantastic . Track is set. Lower parking lot now plowed too. The groomers have greatly expanded the lower loop. I skied where I never have today in the lower meadows area that branches off from the on ramp to the lower loop from the lower parking lot....

As good as it gets

Smooth firm corduroy in the skate lane and solid classic tracks. Eaglecrest groomed every inch of the lower loop including the “dog loop” and it adds up to 7.3 km. I haven’t seen it this good in . . . ever. Upper loop also looking mighty fine but classic track not...

Midday report- fresh grooming, blueberry soup

Fresh powder for ski for cold. It will be groomed again midday. Come out for blueberry soup, other warm drinks and snacks and log in your kilometers as a celebration for Nordic skiing and and climate change.

7.2 km of groomed trail on lower loop

Eaglecrest has done it again. 7.2 km of nicely groomed trail on the lower loop, including the challenging “dog loop” by the lower nordic parking lot. Skate or classic, it’s all good. Beautiful conditions today, lightly snowing and mild temperatures...

EC Passes

Hey Folks, if you haven’t purchased your EC Nordic pass or ticket each day you ski, you should! EC staff have been doing a bang-up job keeping the trails silky and smooth despite the piles of snow and intermittent rain. On Sunday, during Ski for Cold, Merry and...

Upper loop awaits

Upper loop awaits

Eaglecrest extended and groomed the upper loop beautifully today! I don’t think anyone skied it all day though… Go get...

Lower loop groomed for skate and classic

Beautiful soft new snow. Lower loop groomed for skate and classic. Classic should hold up well. Skate will be more challenging as it gets buried in snow. What a nice “problem” to have!

Lower loop groomed, tons of snow

Eaglecrest groomed the complete lower loop for skate and classic this morning. Then we got a ton of new snow that quickly covered it! Classic skiing is good, skating is a challenge. The “dog loop” off of the lower parking lot is packed for the first time in...

Lower Loop 5.7 km

There is a skate Sprint tomorrow Saturday on the lower loop at 10:30. Come before get your heart rate up before making your turns on the hill. The full loop is in just like the good ole days plus some extra mini loops here and there. Great conditions but a little...

Perfect!!!!

A big shout out to the eaglecrest groomers! Lower loop was as good as it gets. Go now while there is time today. The groomers moved the classic track out to make for a great classic and skate setup. The loops in the meadow made for great meadow skiing if you don’t...

Skier

Snow great on lower loop. Grooming almost perfect BUT put classic track almost in the middle thus crowding skate lane and forcing skater to either trash the classic track or ski in less than optimal space. ALSO grooming in meadow suffered from severe lack of loop...

Merry-mostofthetime

Thanks to Dave for overcoming mechanical challenges and grooming both upper and lower loops, finishing just as the team arrived on the lower loop today. So much snow, so much fun, so much care from the EC crew all this snowy week… Trail conditions are good, of...

Lower loop

Nordic recorded line said trail was groomed and excellent but that must have been early this morning as the trail had several inches of new snow by the time I got there at noon. Decent nordic skiing in the skate lane. Lots of snow up there adding to a good base on the...
