Episode Details

Eaglecrest Ski Area is hiking prices across the board for next season, with adult season passes jumping from $630 to $690 and daily tickets rising from $75 to $85. Seniors, kids, and cross-country users also face about a 10% increase, plus a new 3% credit card fee starting in July. Board chair Brandon Cullum admits it’s a tough call, but says they have no other choice to stay afloat. The ski area’s future hangs in the balance after the Juneau Assembly canceled a crucial gondola project meant to stabilize finances. In exchange for keeping operations running for one more season, the Assembly agreed to fund operations—but at the cost of cutting nearly half the staff. What comes after next season remains uncertain.
