Eaglecrest Access Closed for Construction

Access to Eaglecrest Ski Area above the lodges is currently closed for early gondola preparation and construction. Access is expected to reopen by late November. The lower Nordic trails remain open for public use, with the upper trail loop experiencing closure. Announcements regarding progress and expected reopening will be forthcoming.

In the meantime, we ask that visitors do not circumvent barriers that are in place, as this will delay construction progress. Please help us move forward safely and responsibly by honoring all posted closures.

Updates on the gondola project will be shared at the next Eaglecrest Board meeting on Thursday, November 6. Please visit the CBJ website for upcoming meeting details.

For questions, please contact the Eaglecrest main office at (907) 790-2000 or by email at [email protected].
