Locals have known for years that skiing and snowboarding in Juneau is special. The diverse terrain and snow conditions will challenge everyone from the first timer to the expert thrill seeker. Located on Douglas Island just 12 miles from downtown, Juneau's community owned ski area features phenomenal alpine and Telemark skiing, snowboarding, and a terrain park full of rails, bumps and boxes. There are 640 acres of open-treed slopes offering a vertical drop of 1,400 feet. Two chairlifts and one beginner lift access 31 runs. For those interested in hiking for their turns, the ridges above Eaglecrest offer a wide variety of natural, ungroomed terrain. The area also includes a PSIA/AASI certified Snowsports School, Rental & Repair Shop, and 5 kilometers of groomed Nordic trails perfect for either classic or skate skiing. We run a shuttle bus to the mountain five days a week, with one route stopping at all of Juneau's major hotels so you never need to worry about driving up the hill. |
