Eaglecrest Skating!

I just returned from a ski on the Lower and Upper Loops. They are groomed for skating! The Lower Loop is not completely groomed, but they have done a great job with what they have to work with. It is firm with a bit of early-season wash-board. Pretty good skiing!...

Upper Loop

Eaglecrest set a little .50 km loop on the upper loop (the lower portion just below Black Bear base). Its skate-only, no classic track. The road is in good shape and you can skate all the way up from the lodge. You can add a little distance by doing laps on the...

Groomer

Lower loop groomed for skate and classic. Classic is good. Last groomed late morning today

Eaglecrest Update

We’ve been rolling the lower Nordic trails for the past five days. There’s a 4-5km route, no classic track. Conditions should be excellent. Eaglecrest will groom again on Sunday. The plan is to hit the trails after finishing the main mountain by 10am. The upper trails...
Lower Loop Eaglecrest rolled

Lower Loop Eaglecrest rolled

Thanks to a small group effort and especially Peter Ord, one of the most experienced JNSC groomers, the first rolling of the season has been accomplished. Some wet spots, high humidity snow (sticky on fish scales), purple wax? probably. Snowing when I left. Stay to...

Upper loop EC on Saturday, March 23

Classic Xcd Upper Loop Saturday afternoon. Apparently had not been groomed since the 21st (?). Several “water hazards” to navigate and many pole plants went straight through the weak, soft snowpack with no bottom. And, large portions of classic track were...

Upper Loop is good

It’s worth the hike up. Coverage is great. The groomers fixed a couple creek crossings that overflowed. The cat left a few chunky spots but very skiable. 54F Tuesday afternoon and HOT.

Upper Loop Tuesday

Dave said that due to flooding issues on the mountain they didn’t have time to get over to groom the upper loop. But they should have it groomed on Tuesday.

Loops are good

It was snowing Th on both loops. The Upper Loop is faster than the Lower Loop as it’s just that much colder. Try both just because you can.

Good as it gets

Finished two trips around the tracks at 930 and no others on the trail. Snow is about as good as it gets. Violet wax was perfect for track conditions. Lower lot is now cleared and shute to the main trail from the lower lot is groomed.

Eaglecrest upper and lower loops groomed daily

Eaglecrest is on it! They are grooming the upper and lower loops daily for skate and classic with the big machines. Wide smooth corduroy skate lane, nicely set classic track. Every inch of the lower loop is groomed, including some sections that have not been set for...

Lower Loop is in!!!

Rode with groomer Jake this morning and put in the entire lower loop (he stayed after normal quitting hours to do this). Unfortunately in the process we removed some of the classic track, but that should be put back in tomorrow. Get it while you can it was warm up...
