An artist's conceptual design of the proposed Eaglecrest Learning Center
The price of the project is $3.5 million
Eaglecrest Learning Center
The Eaglecrest Learning Center will be built in such a way that the Rental Department and Children's and Adaptive Areas will exit onto the snow for easy access to the slopes.
The Eaglecrest Learning Center will house the following facilities:
- Snowsports School
- Equipment Rental Department
- Retail Shop
- Equipment Repair Shop
- Adaptive Learning Facilities
- Lift Ticket Windows
- Classroom & Children's Program Area
- Staff Offices
- Restrooms
Why do we need an Eaglecrest Learning Center?
- With the addition of the Porcupine Lift, Eaglecrest has seen a surge in new users
- Over the past five years, the Snowsports School has been growing at more than 5% annually
- The current layout and space for the Snowports School & Rental Departments is insufficient and not up to industry standards
- Increased capacity, better layout and more user friendly operations are necessary to serve our growing numbers of skiers and snowboarders
- As we serve more and more of the Juneau Community, we need to bring our learning and rental facilities to the next level

- Easy access to the Porcupine Learning Area
- New, more efficient ticketing layout
- New Instructor staff room

- Opens up space in the current day lodge for more seasonal lockers, room rentals, & the Juneau Ski Club
