Eaglecrest Lower Loop

The Lower Loop was in perfect condition for Saturday’s Southeast Snickerdoodle Skiathlon and Ski Tour. P.S. the craters on the lower Fish Creek loop had been fixed.

I neglected to mention that EC was able to groom more of the lower loop this morning, adding in Guy’s loop (interval hill) and the full meadow route with inner and outer loops connected. Just one week ago we had bare ground in places so it’s great to see the progress...

Upper and lower loops groomed

All trails groomed for skate and classic. Lower loop best for classic as upper loop track setter not working as well as it could. There’s still a track up there but not as good as lower loop. Skating excellent everywhere!

Upper and lower loops groomed for skate and classic

Full on perfect conditions at Eaglecrest this weekend! Classic skiers were using blue grip wax. Skate skiers enjoyed the perfect corduroy. We have snow! Sorry for the late in the day posting but internet connection up at the area is...

Lower loop took a big hit with today’s rain and warm temps. Upper loop is excellent for skate and classic skiing and is holding up well.

So. Much. Snow.

Eaglecrest got a big dump of snow these past two days and the lower loop is back! They are grooming for skate and classic every morning but all the new snow fills in the track by the afternoon. I was pleased to see more of the meadow loop groomed to the point that it...

Eaglecrest Update

Upper and Lower Nordic Trails groomed this morning for skate and class, about 4-5km on each. Lower trail conditions are improving, but you will encounter stretches where the groomer had to lift the till and track setter, also look out for rocks on the surface in...

Lower loop groomed and it’s really nice!

All the rough spots are gone! The groomers were able to get around a large portion of the lower today and put in a nice skate and classic track. Should have a full trail soon as long as we keep getting snow.

The Upper Loop is a joy- for skate and classic; lightly falling snow, smooth classic track (VR40/blue), peaceful and challenging. GO GET IT! Thanks to the EC crew…

Eaglecrest nordic update for the weekend

Upper loop groomed to it’s usual perfection, although the wind is blowing spindrift into the track. Nothing you can do about that. They are making another effort on the lower loop and actually set a good classic track on parts of the hardened trail. The bad news...

Eaglecrest Upper Loop

Upper meadow is superbly groomed. Skated on green wax, reasonable glide, stayed warm with Hotties inside boots.

Eaglecrest Lower Loop Groomed by Piston Bully (partial)

Talked with the Eaglecrest Operations manager who reported they took the piston bully with the tiller out to groom the lower loop at around 10 AM this morning. He says some vegetation is showing through. No classic track yet. But 12 1/2 foot width tiller should be a...

Upper and lower loops groomed!

Upper loop perfectly groomed for skate and classic. Lower loop groomed for skate but it’s also fine to classic skiing. The cold firm snow will let your skis track just fine. Cold conditions! Green wax.

Upper Loop is Excellent!

The UL is groomed to perfection for skate and classic. Well worth the short ski/ hike up there. Its cold and dry, but glide is good with green wax.
