We groomed the mini upper loop on Friday night. It took a lot of groomer time to repair rain damage so we didn’t get a chance to track set. We hope to track set Saturday night. It should be a nice to day to get out. That said the lower mountain is locked up under a hard (very hard) layer. Getting to the upper loop will require something on your feet that has traction, ie ice cleats, snow shoes, etc.
Mini Upper Loop groomed- use caution getting up there

I also want to add the the route to get up to the loop is sneaky. I recommend using ice spikes or some other method to gain better traction. Nordic Season Pass Holders can use Hooter if they have a leash on their skis. We aren’t calling the Nordic Trails at Eaglecrest officially open yet so there is no ability to buy day tickets yet.
