Ice is good main body 16 to 17 inches. How ever due to lake level rise over the past 10 days ice is very thin for up to 20 to 30 feet from shore line to the stable ice.

Jan 30, 2023 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake

Lake was groomed but still soft and hard ice under, will be better for skiing in the morning after we get a freeze tonight. The campground was groomed with only a few inches of snow over the ice and pavement base. Still need more snow.

Upper Loop Status

Jan 28, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Eaglecrest groomer Jake made multiple passes this morning. The snow was like concrete so it was very challenging to loosen it up. I followed with the JNSC groomer and was able to set an ok classic track. Between Jake and I there were 5 machine hours of grooming done...

Eaglecrest Upper Loop Plan

Jan 27, 2023 | Eaglecrest

I will be working with Eaglecrest’s groomer Jake to set a sweet (hopefully) track on the upper loop. The plan is for him to use the Pisten Bully’s tiller to break up the concrete and I will follow him to set a classic track as there is a JNST Middle and...

Eaglecrest nordic trails not groomed

Jan 26, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Posted on today’s conditions report on the Eaglecrest website: The upper and lower nordic loops were not groomed last night in order to protect our limited snowpack. There is very little snow remaining on Trickster so prepare to walk without skis on over the...

Lower Loop Not Skiable

Jan 25, 2023 | Eaglecrest

All the nice snow there yesterday washed away in the rain. Now it’s a skating rink with bare spots, so not skiable.

Lower Loop

Jan 24, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Lower loop is surely skiable for touring. It’s not groomed, but there’s a decent set of tracks laid down from others. I skied the outer trail only along the road up to the turn at the top by the parking lot and then back along the creek. I didn’t ski...

Lower loop grooming

Jan 23, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Thanks to the groomer formerly know as the Pioneer Road Prince, we had great skiing on the lower loop yesterday. 2-4” of heavy wet stuff last night made for great touring today!

Upper loop groomed

Jan 21, 2023 | Eaglecrest

Excellent skiing on upper loop trails. Skate and classic are both excellent! The FULL Troy loop is back, with a fun rollercoaster ride down the big hill. Watch for a few holes that opened up after yesterday’s rain storm.

Upper loop groomed – wet conditions

Jan 20, 2023 | Eaglecrest

You don’t need to be a genius to figure out that it is WET today. But the upper loop is groomed and there is still plenty of snow. I didn’t get up on the nordic trails as I was kept busy teaching downhill lessons, but the groomed runs were smooth and...
