Eaglecrest Ski Area
A municipal ski area on Douglas Island where you can ski in winter while taking in views of the channel, glaciers, and mountains.
Eaglecrest Ski Area sits in the middle of Douglas Island, with a vertical drop of about 480 meters. Its slopes face the channel and distant mountains. It's open on winter weekends and holidays, and the lift tickets are affordable. In recent years it has added summer operations, and you can ride the chairlift up to hike, bike, or take in the views, with a high-ropes course open in some seasons. It's about a 25-minute drive from downtown, and in winter you should watch for snow on the mountain road.
