Upper loop update

Upper loop update

Classic skied to and around upper loop mid-morning through early afternoon under changeable conditions. Old school set classic track. Good snow coverage of 3 inches on packed, wet, sticky snow for 0 skis; pretty good glide with fish scales. Upper loop will be rolled...

Upper loop inice skate, ok classic

Sneaky road access is smooth and skiable for uphill access to upper loop. Nice packed powder skate skiing and there is a good classic track now but it is getting filled in by new snow. That’s a good thing. 🙂

Upper loop packed for skate skiing

Eaglecrest packed the upper loop for skate skiing and it’s pretty good. Walk (or skate) up the road, stay to one side and be aware of downhill traffic. They said they will groom it tonight so it should be nice tomorrow. Thank you, Eaglecrest!

Mini Upper Loop groomed- use caution getting up there

We groomed the mini upper loop on Friday night. It took a lot of groomer time to repair rain damage so we didn’t get a chance to track set. We hope to track set Saturday night. It should be a nice to day to get out. That said the lower mountain is locked up...

Lower and Upper Loop options

Lower Loop is skier-packed the entire loop; good for classic but not skate. Meadows also fun to ski tour around. Upper Loop is actually smooth and ideal for skate skiing now! Or classic without a track. Access is via the road up Sourdough/Sneaky, and you could skate...

Upper Loop groomed

What a lovely ski under the moon last night… skate or classic up the road and EC has set a pretty nice smaller upper loop. No classic tracks but good for both. Thanks to Matt and EC. Enjoy!

Upper Loop

We groomed a small upper loop today. No classic track. It should make for some fun skiing. Please be mindful of mountain equipment as there is a lot of activity on the mountain.

They are getting rolling and grooming the mtn. As I was snowshoeing down, it looked like they were grooming a part of the upper loop. Be careful of equipment, skiers, and fun!

Lower Loop Groomed

We ran a groomer around the lower loop this afternoon and had the packer bar on it. I’m not gonna say it came out great, but it should provide some fun earlier season skiing. Lets hope the rain doesn’t wash it out and the cold that comes in after locks in...

Lower loop report

As of 3:30 PM yesterday, there was about 4 inches of snow on the lower loop. There were ski tracks, but the snow cover was definitely thin and rock ski conditions. From this morning’s Eaglecrest website report, it looks like it snowed about 3 inches more...

adventure

Upper Loop: Ray and I tried to set a loop above the base of Black Bear Chair. The Classic setter did not want to sink into the snow for a good Classic Track. Even with 225 lbs. of weight on it. It is skiable but an Adventure.

Upper Loop

Ray and I are taking the Can Am with roller and classic setter to Upper Loop tomorrow. Will post what the out come is.

EC upper loop nice for touring

Snow is soft and easy to ski tour on upper loop. I skied entire upper loop this morning, with a few interesting creek crossings and an occasional bushwhack through light brush. Easy hike up either Sneaky or road and no problem skiing down on skinny skis.
