Hogsback, Juneau, Alaska #3348

For a second sunny weekend in a row I found myself hiking up the ski slopes at Juneau’s Eaglecrest Ski Area with some friends. As demonstrated by the two skiers hiking above Heavenly Valley (far left), there is plenty of room to honor social distancing. We hung out wandering around the ridges high above the valley floor. Our return trip was a fast sled ride down to the parking lot. Because of the coronavirus the ski area closed early about three weeks ago. A big thanks to Eaglecrest for the basic grooming on a few of the runs to make access to area easier even without any chairlift assist. There are plenty skiers, boarders, and sledders walking or skinning up the mountain. The parking lot on these sunny weekends is often more than half full.  Stay safe and healthy.
