We meet up with Kirk the CEO of the resort who hooks us up with season passes and sends us on our way. Considering the last snow fall was over a month ago Eaglecrest looks to have more than enough terrain to keep us busy and allow us to find our feet before we hurl ourselves into the steeps of the Haines area. First run we find ourselves being followed by one of the local groms. "You guys look pretty good" says Max, a trues local grommet. Unsure if Max was commenting on our riding skills or our attire I accept the compliment with a "thanks man". We ride with Max for the morning and he shows us all the natural hits. Some pretty spectacular terrain to be had up at Eaglecrest with tons of natural hits, gullies, chutes, cliffs etc. The resort has a open bounds policy allowing punters full access to their outer bowls when the conditions are safe. I could imagine having a hell time at this place with a foot of fresh. Loose your mind material!
Really?
A 10 minute hike to the peak and the view is pretty mind blowing. Here is one of the peaks surrounding Eaglecrest
