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, and welcome to Groundhog Day! Blue skies and terrain for all levels of skiers and riders.
We’ve got a little bit of something for everyone - packed powder groomers, soft snow stashes, all 3 lifts opening, and both bowls opening shortly after 9 AM. The base temp is 16 degrees while the top is 13 with 10-15 mph winds. It’s definitely brisk, so be sure to layer accordingly.
Beacon Scramble is still on, and it’s not too late to sign up. It’s only $10, and all proceeds support the Coastal Alaska Avalanche Center. Go to the online store for all the details.
We’re still not up to snow levels we would consider “normal” so please keep an eye out for both marked and unmarked hazards.
Your groomed trails today are: Muskeg, Dolly Varden, Stickleback, Sneaky, Sourdough, Williwaw, Otter Slide, Throat, Easy bowl, Motherlode, upper Sluice Box, Black Bear Access, Raven & Log Jam Runouts, Cheechako, and Marmot. Ptarmigan, Hooter, and Porcupine chairlifts will be open from 9AM - 4PM.
Drive safe, see you up here!
NORDIC UPDATE: March 14th – 9AM Update
Look no further for the best nordic skiing in Juneau! The Upper Loop has been groomed this morning thanks to our very hardworking groomer. Conditions should be excellent, with packed powder snow and a classic and skate track set. Unmarked hazards exist, so use caution out there.
Stadium loop, cabin loop, showboat loop, Blackbear hill and loop, and a shortened Hilda out and back are all in.
Hooter is now open. Be sure to have a leash on your skis before headed up.
