"Eaglecrest"

No one was hurt, but the area above the Hooter lift will remain closed as the ski patrol works to address potential hazards.

The event was part of a broader effort to remove some of the barriers that face Alaska Native youth who want to learn to ski. 

Under a revenue-sharing agreement, Goldbelt would contribute $10 million to the project and would get between 10-25% of gondola revenue. 

The nearly 3.5 inches at the city’s official monitoring station was a daily record – the most rain that’s fallen on January 21st ever – and also a monthly record – the most rain that has ever fallen in January.

All Eaglecrest employees got a pay bump. So far this season, the ski area has had record revenue.

Part of the reason is that the city-owned ski area’s pay scale begins $1.84 below Alaska’s minimum wage.

A new cabin at the city-owned Eaglecrest Ski Area opened for bookings last week. It’s not the only project aimed at increasing the number of options available to weekend adventurers.

With the first snow appearing on top of the mountains, Juneau residents are starting to wonder what kind of winter it will be on the ski slopes. Eaglecrest Ski Area has several improvements in the works they hope will improve the winter ski season.

Participants are encouraged to dress up in wacky costumes as they ski or snowboard through a handful of gates, culminating in attempt to hydroplane across a waist deep artificial pond.

The municipal ski area operated for 69 days this season.
