Eaglecrest Ski Area, Alaska, United States
4.5 (45 reviews) Friday: 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #30 in Juneau Ski & Snowboard Areas
Love skiing at Eaglecrest
Eaglecrest is Juneau, Alaska’s community-owned and operated ski area with big mountain terrain, 1620′ vertical drop, 640 acres, impressive backcountry access, untracked powder, and hardly a lift line. Our most expensive lift ticket is only $62 for adults, and prices are even cheaper for seniors and students. If you’re still learning, our professionally staffed and award-winning Snowsports School will get you and your family out and around the mountain. Never heard of Eaglecrest? We’re Alaska's best-kept secret, but closer than you think; downtown Juneau is only 15 minutes away, and we have daily flights from Seattle and Anchorage. Flash your morning flight’s boarding pass for a free lift ticket, and you’ll be riding the lifts in no time.

Don't miss this classic!
Great family vibe. We did a heli week in Haines and enjoyed a day of side country at Eaglecrest. Call and make sure they are renting skis if you are planning on renting. Don't miss this classic!

skiers & boarders love it, but . . .
I understand it's a scenic spot to drive and hike for free in the summer. During ski season it is a busy place, with affordable passes, rentals and lessons. The employees are well-trained, efficient, and friendly. Thanks to the generous support of Juneau's citizens, whose taxes pay the cost of owning and operating Eaglecrest, the price of a day pass and gear may be less than you expect -- about what you would pay for 18 holes of golf on a PGA sanctioned course, or a week's worth of groceries. The runs range from easy to very challenging, and the wait at the lifts is usually not bad. If you like to ski or board you will love this place. It's easy to get to from the town and is lots of fun. But, while the out of doors experience lives up to the description "world class" outside, the indoors experience is the polar opposite. I"ve heard the lodge described as "no frills," but that is too kind. A bus station is "no frills," and there are bus stations with better food and more comfortable seating than Eaglecrest Lodge. Upstairs there is a seating area reserved for preferred customers, protected by a chain from entry by others. I have not confirmed this, but it is said that from its windows one can see some of the action outside. The rest of the building was designed with almost no windows, and none with views of slopes. The only bright spot in the lodge experience is the excellent espresso stand, but if you are able to pass out or otherwise achieve sleep on a hard soggy floor in noisy, overcrowded conditions, skip the coffee. Although unlikely to occur, sleeping through it completely would be the best way to endure a period of time in Eaglecrest Lodge that lasts more than one hour.
