Eaglecrest Jan 4 Repor
Cold, clear and decent skating. The upper loop is in. A new whoop de do on the other side of the creek. Thanks Nate! No crowds today. For adventure nordic skate try Cropley Lake.
Are you missing out?
There is good skiing up Montana Creek. 1/2 to3/4 inch on fine snow and frost on the trail. Groomed early this morning with two passes over the trail. Try night skiing with head lamp. It was very pretty with the head light on the groomer. There were Northern Lights also. Remember your Classic skis do not have to be in a track!
Early Morning
Montana Creek will be groomed early morning on Sunday the 4th. The more we groom it the more fines we make. Should be completed by 9am.
Sat Jan 3 – Upper Loop groomed for skate skiing
Hike up from lodge to bottom of Sneaky using ice cleats (very icy). Then hike up Sneaky on groomed man-made snow. At top of Sneaky it is possible to skate ski on groomed snow to Black Bear chair. Eaglecrest has groomed about 2 km of nordic trails. Snow has been tilled and groomed and is in beautiful condition for skate skiing. No classic track. Very little wind today and there is sun on the upper loop in the morning hours. Sunday should be excellent – get up there early for best light. Thanks to Ken Leghorn for this report.=, and thanks to Eaglecrest for the grooming!
Grooming
I groomed Montana Creek earlier today, it is very icy and I just barely scratched the suface with the ginzu, looks like it helped a litte for those hard core skate skiers.
Skier
Matt et al have reworked a little loop on the Upper Loop…. And the sun is out! You can follow the cat track up Sourdough or the road… they’re making snow on the lower mtn. Thanks to EC and all the Nordic groomers for keeping us skiing!
Enjoy and dance for snow.
