Eaglecrest Ski Area is closed today and tomorrow due to warm weather and rain.
For now, Juneau’s city-owned ski hill anticipates having the Porcupine chairlift in operation Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“We went from having a lot of fun up on the upper mountain and Porcupine area last weekend to obviously a lot of rain,” Eaglecrest General Manager Matt Lillard said Wednesday on KTOO’s A Juneau Afternoon. “It’s certainly hurt the amount of snow that we have and the conditions. So we’ll be closed the next two days, and then on Saturday and Sunday we’ll be reopening.”
Lillard says the latest conditions can be found at skijuneau.com.
The National Weather Service calls for more rain in the Juneau area through most of the weekend, with a chance of snow by Sunday night and Monday.
