Eaglecrest Ski Area

Eaglecrest will be closed to hiking and biking

Juneau, AK- June 8 – Eaglecrest will be closed to hiking, biking, and skiing Tuesday, June 9 through Sunday, June 14 while crews install the haul rope on the Black Bear Chair.

The haul rope is the cable that carries the chairs and installation is expected to take a week. Crews will be unspooling the haul rope at the bottom of the Black Bear Chair. The lift line crosses over the road in several locations. Anyone on the road might be impacted by either the raising or falling of the cable. For safety reasons the mountain will be off limits to everyone.

“We realize people will want to watch this event so we will take photos and post on our website along with periodic updates” said Kirk Duncan, General Manager. “This is a critical part of the lift installations and crews need to be confident unauthorized individuals are not on the mountain while working with the haul rope. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation during this process.”

The installation may be completed sooner than planned. Please check www.skijuneau.com for the latest status on the availability of using the mountain
