For the first time in several seasons, Eaglecrest Ski Area<\/a>, Alaska, is increasing season pass prices by approximately 10%.<\/strong> <\/span>Eaglecrest Ski Area faces the same financial pressures confronting many community-owned ski areas across North America. The City and Borough of Juneau recently adopted a budget aimed at addressing a multimillion-dollar revenue shortfall, forcing city leaders to make difficult decisions about funding public services and recreational facilities<\/a>. Eaglecrest, like other city-owned amenities, has been navigating what officials describe<\/a> as a \u201cbare minimum\u201d operating budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The increase may catch the attention of Juneau local skiers, but Eaglecrest still offers one of the most affordable passes in North America.<\/strong> Adult Tier 1 (early bird) season passes will cost $690 this season, up $60 or 9.5% from $630 last year, while day passes will increase from $75 to $85 \u2014 or 13.3%. Many other destination resorts charge more than $1,000 for an unrestricted season pass and even regional ski areas rarely advertise pricing below $700.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
