Eaglecrest groomed the lower loop for skate and classic this morning, but it was blizzard conditions most of the day and the track was quickly buried under soft snow. Still skiable, and the good news is we are getting excellent coverage all over the track as there was...

Eaglecrest lower loop – good snow cover everywhere

Dec 18, 2016 | Eaglecrest

It was snowing at Eaglecrest all day today. The lower loop has excellent coverage everywhere. The trail was packed but no classic track set. The groomers will look at it tonight and attempt to groom and track set the full loop. If we survive this short wet stretch of...

Lower loop groomed – snow falling fast!

Dec 17, 2016 | Eaglecrest

Eaglecrest groomed the lower loop for skate and classic this morning, but the snow was falling so thick and fast that by noon it was almost buried. But it is still skiable. What a nice problem to have – too much snow! The new snow is a bit sticky, so Maxiglide...

Lower Loop groomed

Dec 15, 2016 | Eaglecrest

I checked out the lower loop this afternoon and was pleased to see they groomed it today. Looks like it is groomed for skate and classic (I was on foot and could only go a short distance due to being sick). EC staff confirmed that they ran the groomer and classic...

Lower Loop groomed for skate, no classic track

Dec 9, 2016 | Eaglecrest

Most of the Lower Loop has been groomed for skate skiing. It is still early season conditions, the gravel trail has good coverage, some vegetation poking through in the meadows. The snowcat broke through the ice on a pond in the meadow and chewed up some mud, not...

Lower Loop powder heaven

Dec 8, 2016 | Eaglecrest

We just skied in a set of fresh classic tracks around the lower loop meadow in a foot of fresh powder. Snow on all the trees, filtered sun, and the big Nordic parking lot and EC road is nicely plowed. Head up with some nice wide touring skis before it gets windy...

Sorry, a schedule conflict came up, so won’t be able to set a classic track today. Hopefully tomorrow. Should be excellent skiing at the campground and Montana Creek today.

Eagle crest lower loop

Dec 4, 2016 | Eaglecrest

Classic skied on Eaglecrest lower loop this morning, Dec. 4. Broke some more trail in at least foot deep snow. You may want to use Gaters to keep snow out of your boots. Hard work sometimes but its skiing!

A foot of snow on Eaglecrest lower loop

Dec 4, 2016 | Eaglecrest

I skied the lower loop about 2:30 – 3:30 yesterday. There is about a foot of snow, no grooming yet, I broke trail from the lodge down to the meadow and around half of the main meadow loop. Should be decent early season skiing in skier set classic tracks if it...

Upper Loop groomed!

Mar 26, 2016 | Eaglecrest

Groomed for skate Sat. Classic wasn’t bad, but there were no tracks. A little mist but drier than downtown. A couple water hazards are popping up. Ski while you can. Buckwheat is 4/2!
