Eaglecrest Board Appoints Julie Piper as Next General Manager

The Eaglecrest Board of Directors is pleased to announce the selection of Julie Jackson Piper as the next General Manager of Eaglecrest Ski Area. Piper was appointed to the role at the July 7 Eaglecrest Board special meeting. 

“I am excited to welcome Julie Jackson Piper back to Eaglecrest as our ski area’s general manager,” said Brandon Cullum, Eaglecrest Board President. “Julie is the right person to lead our staff, support the board, and help inspire confidence with the Assembly as we move into the 2026/2027 ski season and work to address Eaglecrest’s longer-term sustainability concerns.” 

Piper is currently employed as the Recreation Manager for the City of Richland, Washington, where she has served in that role since 2018. Her prior experience includes being the Aquatics Manager for the City and Borough of Juneau and Youth & Community Outreach Coordinator & Snowsports School Supervisor at Eaglecrest. Piper also has a Bachelor of Science in Ski Area Business Management from Northern Michigan University. 

“I am honored to join Eaglecrest’s dedicated staff and engaged Board of Directors as we build upon the mountain’s remarkable legacy,” Piper said. “Together, we have an incredible opportunity to strengthen our connection with the community, enhance the year-round mountain experience, and ensure Eaglecrest continues to thrive for generations as we begin its next 50 years.” 

Piper will begin her new role on August 31, 2026 and be paid an annual salary of $134,014.40. 

The Eaglecrest General Manager is selected and supervised by the Eaglecrest Board. Following an initial applicant screening by the City and Borough of Juneau Human Resources Department, the Board Human Resources Committee interviewed candidates remotely before selecting a finalist for an in-person interview at the Eaglecrest Board meeting last week.
