JUNEAU -- The Eaglecrest Ski Area is scheduled to open a week early -- if the weather cooperates.
General Manager Kirk Duncan says more than 62 inches of snow has accumulated as of Saturday at the top of the mountain, and 28 inches at the bottom, making a good base for a successful season.
Warmer temperatures and rain forecast for today could change snow conditions and affect plans to open Saturday.
Duncan said the crew will make a decision whether to open on Friday.
In each of the past two years, the Juneau ski area has opened the second week of December.
