Lower Loop not skiable – Upper Loop firm, but good

Jan 6, 2016 | Eaglecrest

Ken Leghorn called from EC and asked me to post a trail update. He reports the lower loop is an icy, rutted mess and completely unskiable. The upper loop is still groomed from Monday. The skate track is firm and maybe a bit icy in spots, but skiable. The classic track...

Tuesday Evening @ Campground

Jan 6, 2016 | Mendenhall Campground

Clear & crisp -22 degrees at 6pm and we’re the only ones there. Tracks too iced up but the groomers have done a fabulous job on the skating track Very skiable (sp) for us classic skiers.

Upper Loop extended

Jan 2, 2016 | Eaglecrest

The upper loop received a healthy amount of new snow last night and today, and Eaglecrest has started to add and extend the trail. It was buried today under all the fresh snow (note – the alpine skiing is excellent right now!), but as soon as it lets up a bit...
