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 Happy Sunday! Day two at Eaglecrest and we are feeling so full and thankful to everyone who came out yesterday - so let’s run it back! Porcupine Chairlift will be operating from 9 AM - 3 PM. Lift tickets are $22 but if you bring in any non-perishable food donation your ticket price drops to $11.
While there’s technically 0” of snow at the base, it’s incredible to see Muskeg and Dolly Varden completely blanketed in human-made snow. The snow is surprisingly sugary-soft and better than you think! With temps sitting at 32 degrees, minimal winds, and a chance for some snow flurries later, it’s going to be a great day at Eaglecrest.
If you’re thinking Porcupine is too easy for you - how’s your switch skiing and riding going? Have you borrowed your friend's ski blades or snow skate yet? How will you know all the snow gear you need is in your car/locker for the season without actually hitting a slope? All jokes aside - there’s something for everyone up at the hill. If nothing else, it’s a great day to get some fresh air and see your favorite devoted ski and ride friends again.
Come get your pass printed, pick up your skis from the ski shop, get your Eaglecrest logoed Christmas gifts - all opening at 8:30 AM.
Mountain Lift Coffee is in the house operating from 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM. The Eaglecrest Grill is open for lunch and serving pretzels, chili, and tomato soup. Feel free to bring additional snacks and hang out in the Great Room.
Friendly reminder that dogs are not allowed on the mountain while we are operating. Please be safe and make smart choices with our limited snowpack if you choose to go uphill.
We look forward to sharing some Porcupine with you today!
NORDIC (December 7) Good Morning Nordic Fans! Welcome back to Eaglecrest’s 49th ski season!
We need more natural snow – both the upper and lower nordic trails are closed this weekend. We will be back next week with an update.
Keep thinking cold thoughts and doing your dances – the white stuff WILL come. In the meantime, feel free to come ride Porcupine from 9 – 3 Saturday and Sunday!
