Ski Area struggles for survival
June 19, 2004 - Juneau Empire, AK - Eaglecrest Ski Area has weathered
some tough snow and financial years and now may have to convince city
leaders it remains a community asset to keep from being buried. In the
past few years, Eaglecrest management has said that seasons with light
snow and rainy weather during holidays are the major reasons why the ski
area is running in the red. The board said the Assembly should keep
giving Eaglecrest $1.5 million a year because it is a community
recreational area, just like the Augustus Brown Swimming Pool.

State
could raise fines for skiing violations
February 27, 2004 - Juneau Empire, AK - Skiing in a closed area could cost an
Eaglecrest devotee $150 if a new bill passes the Legislature this
session. House Bill 188 would allow the Alaska Supreme Court to set
penalties for ski area violations already codified in the 1994 Ski
Safety Act. State law now allows ski patrollers to issue citations of up
to $50 for violations, and they also have ski-area-specific punitive
means at their disposal, such as revocation of lift tickets.

disabilities. That's the beauty of Outdoor Recreation Community Access's
program that has taught people ages 4 to 60 how to downhill ski and
snowboard, program Manager Jennifer Bellman said. About 38 are enrolled
this winter, she said.
