Bring your touring skis today; the excellent skate and classic tracks of the past few days are now covered with several inches of new snow, with more coming down, but it’s great touring both on the Lower and Upper loops. Remember you can use your Nordic trail...Dec 24, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Please remember that Eaglecrest nordic trails are off limits to dogs. If you want to take your dog skiing, go to Montana Creek, Mendenhall campground, Eagle Beach, etc. Or the designated dog loop at EC. But please stay off the lower and upper loop, even when the area...Dec 24, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Just to give everyone an update on the lower loop: I drove a snowcat around a fair amount of the loop with a compactor bar tonight so there should be some ok skate skiing. Unfortunately we need a fair amount more snow before I will send another snowcat out to do more...Dec 24, 2015 | Eaglecrest
The Eaglecrest crew has outdone themselves on the Upper Loop. The entire loop is groomed to perfection. Perfect corduroy, perfect classic tracks. They made all kinds of new connectors and route changes. You can ski for hours and never ski the exact same loop....Dec 23, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Upper Loop was in perfect shape today for skate and classic; does not get better. Also EC packed the entire Troy loop extension to get it ready for more snow coming– it has brush etc in spots but can be skated the whole way if careful. Lower Loop has not been...Dec 21, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Thanks Eaglecrest for the very nice grooming.Dec 20, 2015 | Eaglecrest
The Eaglecrest lower loop has enough snow on it to make for a very enjoyable ski tour. It is not groomed, and there are a couple of places where you need to watch for open water, but otherwise the snow is soft and easy to ski. The upper loop is still groomed for skate...Dec 19, 2015 | Eaglecrest
The Upper loop is groomed for skate and classic. Access is via walking single file up the skiers right/looks left of sneaky right on the bamboo line on the side of the trail. Please do not try to skate ski up the trail. The upper loop is now officially open and a...Dec 18, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Skied the upper loop tonight with the Juneau Nordic Ski Team and it is in beautiful condition. Skate skiing was smooth and fast. Classic track is nicely set – deep, smooth tracks. Thank you, Eaglecrest!Dec 15, 2015 | Eaglecrest
as of 3 p.m. Dec. 14, New snow and wind obliterated the track from weekend. Enjoy the powder tromping!Dec 13, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Saturday’s Classic was good for waxless (scales) or blue klister were best. Violet (45) wasn’t bad either.Dec 12, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Dec 12- Upper Loop groomed for skate and classic. A reminder to get your nordic passes. As of next Saturday, 12/19, we will be officially calling the upper loop open and season passes or day tickets will be required. Have fun!Dec 11, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Fresh as of 2:15. Between the thick frost and grooming, it’s nice and soft.Dec 10, 2015 | Eaglecrest
Skate skied last night with JNSTeam on Upper loop. It’s holding up o.k. though there is a loss of snow at the base until you reach the area just where the mountain bike loop starts up off the ski road across lower mountain. Watch for rocks emerging down...
