Please do not visit Eaglecrest. Access to the mountain is closed. No hiking, ski-touring, or split-boarding. The National Weather Service is forecasting 5 to 10 inches of heavy rainfall and significant snowmelt through Wednesday night. These atmospheric conditions combined with the recent freeze-thaw cycle and already saturated ground floor could destabilize the earth and snow, causing mudslides and avalanches.
We are expecting warmer temps and rain across the entire mountain for the foreseeable future. Fortunately, last night was cold enough for snow at Eaglecrest. The parking lot got 8.5” of wet, heavy snow that will hopefully shield the snowpack from the incredible amount of water that’s falling. It’s also worth noting that man-made snow has less air pockets than natural snow, and can better withstand the elements.
