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.
Everything is open! The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and the stoke is high at Eaglecrest as we start our week off on this gorgeous sunshiney day. There’s little to no wind up on the mountain and with a high of 38 in the forecast, things will soften up nicely as the day wakes up. There are plenty of freshly groomed runs to choose from today, under clear blue skies. Grab your favorite breakfast and coffee and head out on the hill!
Ptarmigan, Hooter, Blackbear and Porcupine are scheduled to operate today from 9 AM - 4 PM. Groomed trails today: Muskeg, Dolly Varden, Stickleback, Platter Chutes, Black Bear Access, Sneaky, Sourdough, Easy Bowl, Williwaw, Otter Slide, Grubstake, Sluice Box, Trickster, Ego, Log Jam, Lower & Middle Hilary’s, Raven Runout, Cheechako, Inside Passage, Motherlode, Marmot, Breakfast Bowl, and Spruce Chute.
