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.
Saturday hooray! All 4 Lifts are open and it's snowing heavily at the base! If you haven’t already heard, yesterday’s skiing and riding was exceptional, and today looks to be more of the same! Groomers are soft and carvable and the bowls and other off-piste areas have held onto every ounce of new snow we got this week (5” since Wednesday). This morning, snow flurries have been on and off since 4AM and could accumulate 1-2 inches today. Winds are calm from top to bottom today. Pack your low-light lenses and cowbells for today’s Skimo uphill race, and we’ll see you up here!
Be sure to register for one of this weekend's events and donate to the Coastal Avalanche Center! You can still register for the Beacon Scramble as it’s held throughout Sunday. It’s a skills test of searching for 5-6 beacons around the mountain and unscrambling the associated letters to solve the password! You can register anytime before Sunday. It can take place anytime between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning and is not timed. Juneau Skimo uphill race is TODAY and features a new route! All skill levels are welcome and so are spectators! More details and registration at the links below.
Eaglecrest is open and operating daily from March 15th - March 26th from 9AM-4PM. Ptarmigan, Hooter, Blackbear and Porcupine are scheduled from 9-4 today.
