Eaglecrest upper and lower loops

Eaglecrest upper loop groomed for skate and classic and in the usual perfect condition. Lower loop is now skiable with solid frozen base, no open water or muskeg and good snow on surface. I skied the full loop this morning following a skied-in classic track and it was...

Excellent skate and classic on upper loop

Jan 5, 2020 | Eaglecrest

Conditions were excellent today on the upper loop and should continue through tomorrow. Wax for cold temps! Blue glide wax and blue kick wax were the colors of the day, although I chose VR45 (blue extra) kick wax for my stiffer Fischer classic skis. There will be no...

Decent classic and skate considering the low snow cover. A couple spots are very low coverage but the snow is pretty fast today and hike up and down is pretty sweet. Nice to have some terrain. Get it while you can! (hint: Snow was notably harder in morning than early...

More grooming added to upper loop!

The Eaglecrest groomers were able to groom the hill behind the Black Bear chair last night which added about a km to the overall groomed trails on the upper loop. Conditions were firm and fast this morning with an excellent classic track the entire way. Rough measure...

Upper Loop is still very good

The upper loop was excellent this morning for skate skiing. Unfortunately the classic track was not set (equipment problems) but you could still classic ski on the groomed skate track, no problem. I measured a little over 3 km of groomed trail, not including the 1 km...
