Adventure Ski
These events are designed for skiers with experience, but not necessarily expert status. Join us for 2-3 hour of fun exploring trails you may not necessarily pursue on your own that are deeper into the Eagle Cliff Trails system. Check out our Past Events Gallery for a view of what's in store with this adventure. Watch for announcements and details on the ECSA Facebook page in January and February.
