Trail is open. Four wind fallen trees removed by
a fine crew of the Juneau Nordic Ski Club and its
equipment. May have to hike to bridge on Friday
due to loss of snow . Grooming early on Friday by
Dave Hoss Watch for his trail report.
Scott rolled part of the lower loop this morning. Conditions are wet and windy. Ungroomed parts of the trail are not recommended. Snow is soft and wet so please don’t walk on the trails and leave your pets at home (or ski another trail where pets are allowed). Upper loop is in better shape with both skate and classic tracks set.
Crew will be working on removing downed trees. NO grooming until trees are cleared.
Eaglecrest has been regularly grooming Lower & Upper Trails for about a week now. Upper Trails are groomed for skate and classic skiing with a snowcat. Lower Trails are groomed (rolled) with snowmachine YTS setup for skate only. We will continue to groom and improve each operating day. Partial routes. Expect staff to be off the trails by 10:00 AM each morning!
Trail is in great shape today for both
classic and skate skiing. Very good
glide on this Christmas Day.
I just returned from a ski on the Lower and Upper Loops. They are groomed for skating! The Lower Loop is not completely groomed, but they have done a great job with what they have to work with. It is firm with a bit of early-season wash-board. Pretty good skiing! About 2km of the Upper Loop is groomed, the first .50 km loop with an additional inside trail, and then a down-and-back from below Black Bear chair base to the lower end of the Hilda Loop. It is smooth, firm, wide and good skiing. It looks really promising for the coming days. Get up there!
Skate track rolled Classic still good
