Lower Loop update

Jan 9, 2015 | Eaglecrest

The 8 inches of light snow on the lower loop isn’t deep enough to set a classic track, need another few inches. However, there is good coverage on the gravel trail and probably enough snow for a skier set classic track. There is a thin ice crust on top, but...

Upper Loop open Friday-Sunday

Upper Loop groomed for 2 km of skate skiing, daily Friday-Sunday, 2 km. Uphill access is to walk up Sneaky, stay left; also recommend walking down same way. Trail passes required starting Saturday,

Upper Loop is wind scoured

Jan 6, 2015 | Eaglecrest

I was up there at 10AM and it’s hard and bumpy from wind-scouring. Skate edges don’t bite but the forecasted snow should soften things.

The Porcupine Lift is closed til Saturday and the 2″ of soft snow (1″ new ) is perfect for skating up and down the Dolly Varden and Muskeg runs.

Lower Loop is gone

Dec 15, 2014 | Eaglecrest

With our recent rain and warm temperatures, most of the lower loop has melted down to muskeg, gravel, or glare ice, so we are done skiing there until we get at least 6-8 inches of fresh snow. If you walk the trail, you will want your ice cleats. OK to walk your dog on...

Lower Loop this week

Dec 8, 2014 | Eaglecrest

Lower Loop will not be set by volunteers this week with the classic sled, due to low snow and wetness, until it snows again. Also, Eaglecrest crews are using power brush cutters to trim low growing brush on the trail, to prep it for the next snow fall!
