I learned as an adult at Eaglecrest. Overall, it's rather steep for a beginner. As a blue-run graduate, I still find Eaglecrest groomed terrain challenging. It's a backcountry playground! March features tons of bluebird days - I would often find myself out on a perfect weather weekday completely alone without another person in sight. The runs are beautiful. Even the cross country course is stunning. The ski area is owned by the city and feels like it. Tons of whole families out every weekend and, alas, no beer served at the lodge (plenty of people bring their own and set up grills in the parking lot). Usually lots of fresh snow and the snowsports school staff is great. Adult learners will feel right at home and they have a brand new building this year.
