The lower loop snow cover is very thin and Eaglecrest made the wise decision to not take the snowcat out on the trail yesterday so as not to expose more rocks. The track is still set for skate and classic but it is rough and conditions are fast. Watch for hazards. The...Dec 26, 2022 | Eaglecrest
Trickster is not groomed but you can herringbone up on the ungroomed snow, no problem. The more skiers who go up there the better the path will be. Coming down is another story. I recommend walking down the side of Sneaky on skier’s right since the ungroomed...Dec 26, 2022 | Eaglecrest
Access upper loop via Trickster and then herringbone uphill. Walker’s may punch through in places. Good skate track in meadow and right side of Troy Loop.Dec 26, 2022 | Eaglecrest
Lower loop groomed for skate and classic on hardened trail only. About 4km roundtrip. Conditions are fast. Watch for rocks and wet spots. Upper loop groomed for skate, no classic track.Dec 24, 2022 | Eaglecrest
A 4km loop is groomed for skate skiing. Beautiful corduroy this morning. No classic track but the classic skiing is still good. Watch for rocks! If you see a dark shape on the trail there’s a 98% chance it’s a rock. Santa is going to take a look at the upper loop...Dec 22, 2022 | Eaglecrest
I had a chance to walk the lower loop today and admired the grooming work from last week on the thin snow cover. The surface is quite hard – my boot prints were barely visible. Some rocks showing on the far end of the meadow. The moment we get a little new snow...Dec 19, 2022 | Eaglecrest
A short loop on the Eaglecrest Lower Loop has been groomed. Snow is very thin and some rocks are showing on the newer graveled leg. Not a time for new skis but somewhat skiable. Enjoy! FredNov 29, 2022 | Eaglecrest
We went back to the upper loop Monday morning and explored the Troy Loop trail. Another adventure on classic skis. Snow is thin but skiable. One notable creek crossing in order to get to the nice snow on the slopes facing the Hilda drainage. We did not attempt the...Nov 27, 2022 | Eaglecrest
No grooming but the upper loop area has skiable snow. Scott and I skied in a rough classic track in the meadow behind the cabin but did not get back to the Troy Loop. Watch for wet spots beyond the meadow. Easy access on the road although there were so many rocks that...Nov 13, 2022 | Eaglecrest
…the lower loop is groomed! Some JNSC volunteers went up to shovel in some low areas Friday and Eaglecrest ran the piston bully to pack the lower loop and lay some corduroy. Upper Loop has even more snow and has been packed out by some intrepid skiers. Early...Apr 13, 2022 | Eaglecrest
The nordic loops at Eaglecrest are well covered in cold, locked-up snow, with very little debris. If they end up being groomed, or if Wednesday or Thursday afternoons end up warm enough to slush up the crust, the loops should ski well later in the day.Apr 10, 2022 | Eaglecrest
Morning is the best time for a firm, fast skate track on the lower loop. Upper loop stays in good shape into the afternoon. Party at the base of Ptarmigan starting at 11:30 with live music. Thank you Eaglecrest for a long wonderful season of skiing!
