Fish Creek Road is a State Highway. Alaska DOT plows the road each morning prior to opening and will return as needed throughout the day. Eaglecrest is the highest road accessible point in Juneau. Be prepared for winter driving and use 4WD, AWD, studded tires, or chains whenever necessary.
Good Morning! It is Monday and we are OPEN! There is no precipitation, and the corn snow skiing is wonderful. The terrain park is open! Looking for a way to get out of the work day? Not sure where to take the kids for Spring Break? Look no further. Things are finally cooling down as we’re currently at 32 degrees at the summit with 15-20 mph winds and 37 at the base. Hopefully, today is the final overcast day, with no precip at the baseand snow flurries at the top. Yes - the white stuff. Thank you for showing up the past few days despite Mother Nature’s best efforts to slow us down, my guess is we are coming out on the other side and today’s corn snow will be more on the lickity-split laps than the sticky struggle bus. See you soon!
Don’t forget: Eaglecrest is open and operating every day over Spring Break from March 13th - March 24th.
There are open holes, hazards, and running water in the gullies. Please adhere to all rope lines and signage. Ski in control and keep track of your buddies.
Groomed trails today: Muskeg, Dolly Varden, Stickleback, Platter Chutes, Black Bear Access, Sneaky, Sourdough, Easy Bowl, Williwaw, Otter Slide, Grubstake, Sluice Box, Ego, Lower Hilary’s, Log Jam, Raven Runout, Cheechako, Marmot, and Spruce Chute. Ptarmigan, Hooter, and Porcupine chairlifts are scheduled to operate from 9 AM - 4 PM. Blackbear will be closed due to lack of staff.
NORDIC (March 18) Good Morning Nordic Fans! It is Monday and we are OPEN!
While the last few days have been a little wetter than we’d like, it seems like today we are coming out on the other side with just a light drizzle at the base and clear skies in the foreseeable forecasted future. It’s currently 39 degrees at the base. The upper nordic loop has been groomed for classic and skate skiing and is ready for you today! There has been no lower nordic grooming as we are experiencing low snow coverage in the entire base area. We are in it for the long haul, with Eaglecrest open and operating every day from March 13th – March 24th. Expect nordic trail grooming every day as long as conditions allow.
The access trail to the upper loop is just below the base of Blackbear Chair. Trickster has not been groomed, so consider taking Hooter chairlift up as long as your skis are leashed!
Thank you JNSC community for your daily conditions updates!
