White Pine

Welcome to the unofficial Community Center of Park City. Another warm spring-like day on the trails today. Sunshine and maybe a few clouds. The surface was smoothed last night and is creamy and softening this morning. Please ski early if you are able to. We’re solidly back to snow saving mode. 3km “Community Loop” is open with classic track set. The skiing will be quite good today if your skis are waxed and ready.

The 5 km “Pond Loop” is still closed and will not be improving in the coming days. The off-track snow on the 5k is good and we packed the trail surface to try to preserve the base. Be aware of thin spots and cart paths just under surface if you venture out. The 5km side is only for the intrepid and rock skis given the thin conditions and unmarked hazards. The penalty for catching an edge on the cart path can be significant.

Check your bases and get some fresh red wax on for better glide. Our hours are 9am to 5pm daily. You must have a trail pass purchased and displayed to access our trails. Your support helps us provide free and discounted skiing for youth programs, disabled skiers, veterans and other local communities. Everyone please ski with happiness and the Joy of being outside, walk carefully to the trail, greet the staff and your fellow skiers and keep an eye out for the ermine and snow bunnies. Thank you for being part of the hard but rewarding work that has kept this community resource open for almost 50 years!

The Wasatch Citizens Series classic race scheduled for Saturday at the Farm has been postponed. We’ll find a replacement weekend later in the winter with a bit more snow. Everyone have a safe holiday season and we’ll see you at the January races!

There are a few shovels and scoops on the 3km trail. Enjoy some cross training and toss a couple of scoops of snow on to the thin spots. You’ll be stronger, get great feeling of being part of our wonderful ski community and also help the track last longer. Even a few scoops will fill your heart and your trail with Joy.

This season is White Pine’s 47th on the Park City Golf Course and we’re proud of our 53 years as a locally owned and operated business in Park City. Shop Local, Ski Local. A proud part of the Jans family. Our partnership with Park City and the community runs deep. It is very rare to have such an incredible year-round community resource right in town. We’ve been helping grow champion skiers and keeping everyone moving for almost 5 decades.
