Nestled in the Tongass National Forest on Douglas Island, just 12 miles from downtown Juneau, Eaglecrest Ski & Snowboard Park features bowl, trail and gladed terrain for skiing and snowboarding, x-country touring, and snow tubing – awesome winter fun! It’s said that if you can ski Eaglecrest, you can ski anywhere!

The coastal fjords of Southeast Alaska provide the perfect habitat for skiers and snowboarders, species that thrive off the abundant snow and awesome terrain. Juneau is the capital city of Alaska, yet we are in the remote panhandle of Southeast Alaska surrounded by islands in a temperate rainforest. Vistas on a sunny day include the beautiful coastal mountains around the Mendenhall Glacier, the Chilkat Range to the north, Admiralty Island to the west, as well as glimpses of the Juneau Icefield toward Canada

Eaglecrest's 29th Season!
In 2004-2005 Eaglecrest now has 31 official alpine runs, many of these covering large geographic terrain, plus 8km of Nordic trails. Two years ago we added a Tubing Hill lift and Snow Terrain Park on the lower mountain. The road is now paved and potholes just a deep memory.... Composting toilets in a heated addition to the Eagle's Nest warming hut at the top of the Ptarmigan chairlift offer luxury only dreamed of in the early days...

Eaglecrest is a local's mountain in the truest sense of the term, and not just because locals paid for it. Occasionally you will encounter snow riders who have made the trek from Whitehorse, in the Canadian Yukon; Anchorage, some 600 miles away; or from the "Lower 48"... even a few from neighboring Sitka, Petersburg, Ketchikan, or other Southeast Alaska communities; but mostly you will find people at Eaglecrest who share the same zip codes and bump into each other at the grocery stores, restaurants, or the many nocturnal outlets of blues, folk, jazz, and rock & roll music. Even though Juneau is the state capital and boasts a year-round population of just over 30,000 souls, it is accessible only by boat or plane - it is a wild place where ravens rule the streets and store windows advertise bear repellant. As you might expect, this means that Eaglecrest isn't one of those destination resorts whose skier visits rival the population of some countries and whose lift ticket prices brush the upper atmosphere. But because of the diversity of terrain and snow conditions, the locals say that if you can ski at Eaglecrest, you can ski anywhere in the world -

Come check it out - we hope to see you on the mountain!
