Eaglecrest Ski Area is heading into what may be its final two weekends of the season.

The city-owned ski area announced Friday that it will suspend its operations Monday, March 21. Previously, general manager Matt Lillard said the suspension would come after this weekend.

They only expect to open the beginner area off the Porcupine Chairlift.

If significant snow does come, officials say staff will be prepared to reopen.
