The Skyline Nordic Club* grooms a fun, curvy, slightly hilly 7K track for skate and classic at the Skyline Resort golf course in Fairview, Utah. They ask for $5 for a day fee or $25 for a season pass. No facilities.

The course has a series of intersecting loops to allow for different directions on multiple laps. The start is on mostly flat beginner-friendly terrain. As you move further east, it gets a bit hilly. Elevation is in the 6,200 range, with a difference of about 150 feet from the high point to the low point.

Fairview is 90 minutes south of downtown Salt Lake City or about 55 minutes south of Provo. The air quality is often much better than Salt Lake, Summit or Utah counties.

Most recent Grooming Report

    Not a grooming report but rather a skiing report. Humble groomer has returned from New Hampshire and found the Fairview track holding up. I am not going to groom since there are some bare spots which are best left alone. Wally Chambers and I skied Tuesday (skating). The base is definitely firm. Best to ski mid to late morning after it warms a bit. Avoid mid to late afternoons during these warmer days with sun. Today I skied classic on the racks set last week. There are some great stretches for striding but also some thin spots to dance around and avoid. Top loop is not accessible due to a strecth of meltoff that is too long to get around but that leaves 80% of the trails mostly quite skiable. I will skate again Thursday.

To get to the course from the north, take US 89 through town, go left/east on 300 South, follow the curve right as the road becomes Mountainville Highway, and go 3 miles to the turn to Skyline Mountain Resort. After the left turn into Skyline Mountain Resort (Birch Creek Drive), take the first left onto Club House Drive, and the next left onto Sports Haven Drive. When you see the gate, look to the left for a snowy parking area. The fee post and track start are right there.

*Fairview resident Bill Bedford handles all of the grooming, and often pays for fuel and maintenance from his pocket, for the love of skiing and the desire to share it with others. If you ski the track, please put money in the fee box.
