Made the trek up to Eaglecrest yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the Lower Loop had been packed and groomed. The snow is soft in a few places, and there are still a few twigs poking through, but considering it’s only November the...Nov 22, 2017 | Eaglecrest
As of Tuesday afternoon, the lower loop had good conditions for classic or touring skis. There was about 3 inches of light snow over the packed track that Nate Abbott left when the the cat. No need for rock skis, just a few blueberry twigs showing here and there. I...Nov 19, 2017 | Eaglecrest
Most of the Lower Loop was packed during the storm so there is some fluff on top. Some obstacles exist, but I hit NO rocks. It’s good for classic or touring as it’s soft. Enjoy the skier-made tracks. The lower Fish Creek loop was not completely...Sep 2, 2017 | Eaglecrest, Website Notice

Ever Since Scott Fischer hung up his spurs, the title of Number One Groomer has been up for grabs. John Staub made a lunge at it with a 5am start on the upper loop. Conditions conspired against him , (snow too soft), to take the title easily, but it was a...Apr 24, 2017 | Eaglecrest

Went up to EC this a.m. for one last ceremonial skate ski this season and was very pleasantly surprised that the creek side of the Forest Loop and all of Guy’s Loop was totally skiable! A little bumpy and uneven, but pretty hard and fast. There was 1 patch at...Apr 12, 2017 | Eaglecrest
Thanks to Nate for an early morning grooming on the lower loop. Beyond the call of duty. The loop has been freezing at night and melting and softening in the morning around 9 to 930. Lots of glide when it’s frozen and a bit slower when it’s softens up. Not...Mar 31, 2017 | Eaglecrest
