Fish Creek Road is an Alaska State Highway that is maintained by CBJ, the road is plowed each morning prior to opening and will return as needed throughout the day. Eaglecrest is the highest road accessible in Juneau. Be prepared for winter driving and required use of 4WD, AWD, studded tires, or chains whenever necessary.
This is not a full send type of day. There is a lot of dust over hard layer of snow that we currently have. Be careful while adventuring off-piste. Have a beautiful day of skiing!
