Eaglecrest lower loop looks good

Eaglecrest lower loop looks good for classic and skate. It is not “officially” groomed, but they have been compacting it and set a classic track the other day, so it looks pretty darn good from my perspective. Come ski some new terrain!

Eaglecrest lower loop set last night.

Lower loop skate and classic track Was sent last night, according to management. They will be working on compacting and setting a track at the upper loop this week, according to Dave Scanlon, area manager. Enjoy!!!

Lower Loop Classic Track Set

Lower loop classic track set by EC with snowmachine late this afternoon. Should set up for nice classic skiing tomorrow. Skate remains ungroomed since compaction with snowcat, and looks to be marginal, but possible. Probably won’t see another snowcat lap until...

Lower loop better than expected

The lower loop has good coverage all around and is very skiable. Even without a classic track it is solid ski touring for just about any level. Skate looks good too. I could not find any real hazards, just a few small twigs here and there.

Skate skiing up Eaglecrest road

Eaglecrest packed the road on the east side and it is possible to skate ski up to the bowl below the top of the Black Bear chair. Smoothest path yesterday was to head up Sourdough from the bottom of the Ptarmigan chair, then get on the road about halfway up and follow...

Upper Loop is skiable with classic skis

I confirmed yesterday’s report by skiing to the upper loop this morning. You can ski up the road all the way from the lodge – watch for some gravel in spots. Once you are below the Black Bear chair you can follow skier set tracks around parts of the upper...

Lower loop revised report

Lower loop is better than yesterday but still rough for skating. Only 1/2 skate lane that collapses on one side. Skiable for advanced skiers. Classic is better, softer snow on sides. Use caution

Eaglecrest lower loop in rough shape

The lower loop is in rough shape after the last thaw-freeze cycle. The classic track is skiable, hard and fast. The snow on either side of it is rough frozen cat tracks where they tried to pack it, so there is little room to maneuver outside of the classic track and...

Eaglecrest lower loop almost 100% ready

Eaglecrest lower loop has good snow coverage on every inch of the trail. The groomers have been going out and packing the snow regularly, but so far have not set a classic track. If you get on the trail after they have groomed then it’s probably good skate...
