## Resource

Juneau’s beloved Eaglecrest Ski Area is teetering on the brink, drowning in $3 million in debt and facing a brutal winter that exposed years of neglect. Once a community cornerstone and public park offering affordable mountain fun, it’s now caught in a fierce debate: keep it municipally owned or privatize it? A once-promising $2 million gondola project ballooned to $37 million and was scrapped, deepening the crisis. The city voted to keep it open next season—but slashed $1 million from its budget, forcing cuts and layoffs. For locals, Eaglecrest isn’t just a ski hill; it’s identity. But with no clear path forward, the future of this 50-year-old institution hangs in the balance.
