“Everyone at Eaglecrest is thrilled to join the Powder Alliance. Juneau has been secretly enjoying this gem since 1975, and we can’t wait to share our mountain with new visitors and extend some seriously impressive benefits to our pass holders.”
– Charlie Herrington, Marketing Manager
Eaglecrest is one of Alaska’s best-kept secrets with big mountain terrain, 640+ acres, 1620′ of vertical, and panoramic ocean views. The annual snowfall average is 320” with a record-setting 640” in 2011-2012. Eaglecrest, which is community-owned and operated, is a living tribute to the soul of skiing and snowboarding. The mountain is the main attraction, and traditional services are offered at truly affordable prices. Chairlifts are fixed-grip doubles, grooming is limited, and some of the best terrain is accessed by traverse, sidestep, and bootpack.
POWER of the ALLIANCE
- 19 Resorts
- 174 Lifts
- 1,215 Trails
- 40,548 Vertical Feet
- 33,866 Skiable Acres
- 6,790″ Cumulative Annual Snowfall
There are no roads to Juneau. Travelers must arrive by plane or ferry from Seattle or Anchorage and are rewarded with untracked powder and hardly a lift line. The mountain is so close to the airport that they offer a Boarding Pass, giving Powder Alliance pass holders a fourth FREE day if they visit the same day as their arrival. Regular operations are Thursday to Monday, December through mid-April, and daily during Christmas and Spring Break. Eaglecrest is open to uphill traffic during non-operating hours and has impressive backcountry access. Backcountry skiers and splitboarders are encouraged to pack their beacon, shovel, probe, and Know Before You Go!
