Eaglecrest Lower Loop 12/20 130 pm

Lower loop a hard crust over what was rolled and groomed a few days ago. A slog for classic skiing and not really skiable for skate skiing until there’s enough snow for grooming. Lower ski lot nicely plowed so low danger of getting stuck in a Leaf. Beats sitting...

Lower loop ok for classic ski touring

Remember- NO DOGS on the Eaglecrest nordic trails. Especially in this wet snow where their prints leave wet holes. Enjoy skiing with your dog anywhere else, just not at Eaglecrest. Currently snowing all around lower loop. Decent classic touring.

Saturday Grooming Problems

Classic track set– it’s good, damp but very skiable. Then the snowmobile developed mechanical problems so I couldn’t groom for skate. Looks ok for skate though, firm and wet.

Pioneer Break Down

Too thin to ski, too thick to drink. The snow just gets thinner as you move out the road, plus the CanAm threw a track this morning, recovery efforts are proceeding.

Event at the Campground Saturday morning!

Hi Ski Community, this is just a heads up that there will be an event, the Classic Classic, going on at the Mendenhall Campground from 10:00-Noon on Saturday so if you are looking for a nice quiet ski, you will want to plan around this time. If you want to support our...

Rolled

Did a couple of passes with the roller to smooth things out. Thanks to Island boy the downed tree is out of the way. Good for skate and fish scales. No track set until we get a little bit more snow.

groomed afternoon of the 16th

Groomed wet snow (think cookie dough) for both Nordic and skating. Lots of folks on the trails with both parking lots full. Will be enjoyable for a skier happy with fast and maybe a tad sloppy conditions.
Lower loop is fun for classic skiing right now

Lower loop is fun for classic skiing right now

Thank you, Jack K, for putting in a very nice classic track on the lower loop today. It probably won’t last with more snow steadily coming down by the hour. The snow is soft and fun to ski. We were able to ski just about all the loops and connectors of the lower...

Spaulding Meadows

Skied on Sunday and there was plenty of snow once you get out of the trees. Had to hike skis up from the John Muir parking lot. Should be great fun with all this new snow!

Lower loop update

Skate track buried in fresh snow, and snow is too sticky to groom with the roller, needs to cool down a few degrees. Classic touring skis recommended today.

Lower loop update

Lower loop gravel trail compacted with the roller and groomed for skate yesterday afternoon. Good coverage, but still low snow so the track is lumpy in places and twigs still showing in the meadow and off the gravel trail. Need a few more inches of snow to set a...

Eagle beach groomed 16 Dec

Groomed again today after some more fresh snow, and laid a classic track around the campground loop. The trail is in good shape for both skate and classic. There are still a couple thin spots underneath areas with lots of tree cover. Enjoy!

First Groom

Made 4 passes with the roller from 1600-1830. Good for first attempt and low snow. Will hit it again tomorrow. Be careful of rocks especially at the pallet bridge.
