• Eaglecrest Upper Loop:

The expanded Upper Loop was freshly groomed Jan. 7 and should be excellent packed powder for both classic and skate. Access is still skiing on left up to bottom of Sneaky, then hiking up Sneaky — just a 15 minute hike,

• Eaglecrest Lower Loop:

Lower Loop is packed awaiting new snow, but meanwhile is frozen hard even in the meadows, and not skiable.

• Mendenhall Glacier Campground:

Groomed 9 a.m. Jan. 7. Frozen, icy classic track. Some loose granular on top of firm base for skate.

• Montana Creek Road:

Good classic track but tracks getting deep and skis stick, so take care going downhill. Snow conditions fantastic for fish scale skis.
