Spruces Nordic ski trail is a free 5K loop in the US Forest Service Spruces campground in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It is groomed several times each week. It is a very pretty track through the trees, with loops that are fun and challenging for experienced skiers and areas that are fun for children and novices.

This is watershed. No dogs on the trails or in your car.

The Spruces weather station is right next to the track. It has information on temperature and snow depth.

    This morning Spruces was getting some light snow; however, we didn’t get as much snow as we had hoped for over the weekend. Regardless the upper and lower loop have been groomed, and classic was re-set on both. Count Maxs Loop and the Nursery Medows have also been groomed, but snow is light in some places. Unfortunately, Jordan Pines will have to continue to wait for more snow before we venture that way. Fingers crossed for more snow soon, but in the meantime come out and enjoy what the small storm has provided!
