"Just Another Day in Paradise!" That's how one long-time resident reflected on a winter day skiing the slopes of Eaglecrest, Juneau's best kept secret for winter fun.

Each year as the snow falls on our quaint town, this local treasure entices snow lovers to play hard all day, every day. For over 35 years Eaglecrest has beckoned young and old alike to carve and slice the day away with its challenging runs and fresh powder.

Eaglecrest Attributes

• 640 acres of skiable terrain
  
• 36 alpine runs along with plenty of ungroomed areas for more adventurous souls
  
• 4 chair lifts which carry skiers to lofty heights
  
• The Snowsports School, whose certified instructors will get everyone up and running – whether it's alpine skiing, snowboarding, or Nordic skiing
  
• Over 5K of Nordic trails beckon cross-country skiers

The view from the slopes is breathtaking, looking across snowy peaks and valleys to Gastineau Channel, Admiralty Island, and Juneau far below. Compared to crowded ski areas "down south," you'll find Eaglecrest gloriously roomy, with comparatively short lift lines and smaller crowds.

To keep energy high all day long, indulge in the communal spirit at the day lodge.

• Grab your favorite coffee and freshly baked pastries at the Mountain Lift Coffee Stand (open weekends and holidays)
  
• For more substantial fare, check out the Grill at Eaglecrest, where you can enjoy your favorite comfort food (great burgers and fries) and chat with locals to learn the secrets of the mountain

Après-Ski

After a day of fun in the snow, head back to town to mingle a day of excitement with a night of luxury...

• Sip hot cocoa on the porch of an inn
  
• Keep an eye out for the northern lights
  
• Dine on salmon or halibut and local brew at one of many fine restaurants seeping with local color
  
• Snuggle into a cozy bed and dream of doing it all again tomorrow
