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 back to another week at Eaglecrest! It’s currently 48 degrees at the base and 40 at the Nest. Things should warm up for the next hour or two so get those warm spring laps in!
Thanks for taking off those past two days with us- there’s been no shortage of chaos around here. The snow did initially soften up to mashed potato form this weekend, but since temps dropped below freezing last night, we will have to wait for things to warm up to see if our favorite type of spring riding is back off-piste. We’ll keep you posted on terrain openings, let’s see how things feel this morning as the sun makes its way into town for another high-pressure system. West side of Ptarmigan is currently closed.
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, Trickster, Ego, Lower Hilary’s, Log Jam, Raven Runout, Cheechako, Motherlode, and Spruce Chute.
NORDIC (March 27) Good Morning Nordic Fans! We are back for another week of skiing at Eaglecrest!
It’s currently 31 degrees at the base with clear skies and minimal winds. If you’re looking for firm and fast conditions, this morning will be your cup of tea! With a high of 40 degrees forecasted today, things could soften up in no time. 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.
The access trail to the upper loop is just below the base of Blackbear Chair. Trickster access is back open and groomed!
Thank you JNSC community for your daily conditions updates!
