As you can imagine, Eaglecrest gets the snow averaging 320” per season with a record-setting 640” in 2011-12.
Eaglecrest is a living tribute to the soul of skiing and snowboarding. You won’t find many crowds here. Travelers must arrive by plane or ferry and are rewarded with untracked powder and hardly a lift line.
