When Powder Magazine selected just five destinations in the world that offered boundless skiing opportunities for a cover story entitled "The Soul of Skiing," they put Juneau on the world skiing map. When a local girl named Hilary Lindh won the Silver medal in the Women's Downhill at the Winter Olympics, Juneau's reputation for great skiing spread even further.
Locals have known for years that the skiing in Juneau is special. No matter your skill level, or your desire for adventure, you'll find it all here _ but what you won't find are lots of traffic, long lift lines and expensive hotels.
Located on Douglas Island just seven miles from downtown, Eaglecrest is the city's alpine ski area. There are 640 acres of groomed trails with plenty of beginner, intermediate and expert runs ensuring great skiing for the whole family. For the adventurous, there are thousands of acres of ungroomed area on either side of Eaglecrest that are open for skiing. Eaglecrest also has 5 kilometers of groomed Nordic ski trails.
If your idea of a chairlift has rotors and no cables, you're in luck. Juneau has popular and aggressive skiing terrains for heli-skiers and snowboarders to explore from January to mid May. Led by experienced back-country guides, and outfitted with all the equipment needed to ski safely in the wilderness, you can easily come to understand why Juneau is the place to find your skiing soul.
