  • Reach Infant Learning Program
    Oct 16 2025

    Occupational Therapist Anna Mattox joins us to talk about the Reach Infant Learning Program.

    The brain develops rapidly during the first three years of life. Early intervention can change a child’s developmental path. REACH’s Infant Learning Program provides services in your home and other areas your child is familiar with like daycares and playgrounds. The program believes relationships are the foundation for supporting early development. Relationship-based services focus on enhancing the caregiver-child relationship in order to support the child as they move through development levels. Working with REACH, parents are given the tools to support their child’s development. Working as a team, REACH and family members find what’s best to support the family.

  • Eagle Crest Haunted House
    Oct 14 2025

    Quinn from Eagle Crest joins Capital Chat to discuss this years Haunted House Fundraiser.

    Eaglecrest is not your average community ski area. We have a 1620′ vertical drop, 640+ acres, impressive backcountry access, and hardly a lift line. Powder lasts longer here! There are no roads into Juneau, Alaska— you have to live here, fly, or ferry to experience this powder paradise. Untracked snow, ridge hikes, and breathtaking views are more common than lift lines.

    What we lack in luxury, we make up for in charm, solitude, and affordability; there’s no need to rush at Eaglecrest. Fixed-grip double chairlifts bring you up, and the snow is waiting at the top!

    Adult lift tickets are only $75— for additional savings, check out our Multi-Visit Cards, Boarding Pass Deal, and season pass agreements.

  • Juneau Nordic Ski Club
    Oct 13 2025

    Registration is now open for the Juneau Nordic Ski Club season. Visit jnski.org for more information.

    The Juneau Nordic Ski Club (JNSC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run almost entirely by dedicated volunteers. The mission of the JNSC is to enhance, develop and promote Nordic skiing in Juneau. JNSC puts more people on skis more often on more kilometers through youth development, trail development and trail maintenance in the Juneau area.


    Through various land management agreements, the JNSC grooms trails on public lands during winter in multiple locations around Juneau. The JNSC regularly grooms Montana Creek Road, the Mendenhall Campground and Lake (when ice and snow conditions are safe). Additional ‘pop up’ locations are established when snow cover allows, such as Pioneer Road, Amalga Meadows, and Salmon Creek road. Additionally, through agreements with the CBJ Eaglecrest Ski Area, JNSC periodically grooms Eaglecrest trails in the early and late season and under low snow conditions to extend the season. All grooming takes place using JNSC operated snow machines and grooming attachments, operated by the volunteer groomer corps and is snow cover dependent.


    The JNSC also runs the Youth Development Program which is responsible for the Juneau Nordic Ski Team (JNST) High School and Middle School racing groups as well as the Junior Nordic development program for first through fifth grades. The program’s popularity has grown and it now employs three part time coordinators to share the responsibilities of organizing the age appropriate programs and also organizing and developing the numerous coaches for these groups. Annual fundraisers help to fund scholarships for skiing as well as the seasonal coordinators positions.


    Because of grooming equipment improvements in recent years, the JNSC has been able to groom trails an average of over 100 days per season. The equipment stable includes two snow machines, two rollers, two ginzu groomers/track setters, and an older backup/reserve setup.

    All operations are funded by memberships in JNSC and additional generous donations from individuals, businesses and grants. The JNSC membership, grants and donations are efficiently maximized for equipment purchases, repairs, transporting, fueling, insurance costs, a seasonal Business Manager for club accounting and administrative functions, Youth Program coordinators, and incidentals such as mailings, website updates, and meeting costs.


    The Board meets the first Tuesday of each month. If you would like to attend the meeting please email infor@jnski.org to confirm your interest and the meeting location and time.
