Lower loop

Dec 4, 2014 | Eaglecrest

Lower Loop at 3:00 thursday has narrow classic track. Very hard and fast but totally skiable for intermediate/advanced. Downhills are scary. Meadow is fun. No wax touring skis better than race skis. Muscular thighs and precision balance, like mine, highly recommended....

Eaglecrest update December 4th

I reset the Lower Loop classic track yesterday afternoon, and skied it afterwards. The snow had thawed and refrozen, so the track is a little rough and a bit icy, but coverage is still good. CAUTION — the downhills are icy and rocket fast, and the ungroomed snow...

Packed the EC lower loop gravel trail yesterday. 8 inches of dry powder snow packed down to a 3 inch base. Coverage on the gravel trail is good, twigs and grass showing in the meadow, lots of brush in the woods. Headed up soon to try to set a classic track, there may...

Eaglecrest update

Nov 30, 2014 | Eaglecrest

It was great to finally wake up to snow on the ground this morning. Eaglecrest is reporting 3 inches of snow overnight at the lodge as of 9:30 this morning. This snow is pretty light, and there was no snow on the lower loop prior to this snowfall, so it is probably...

BlackBear Road

Nov 26, 2014 | Eaglecrest

Yes you can tell we are desperate for the season to start. Black Bear road is skatable from the throat up. Oh, it feels good, even if you have to hike to get there.
