White Pine

The forecast calls for spring, but the temperatures this morning are definitely winter. We’re still in denial that the tulips are coming soon. We groomed the 3k and 5k loops into a beautiful Zen garden last night and laid out calming lines of packed powder corduroy and classic tracks. Conditions today will be very firm, squeaky packed powder early and softening a bit late in the day. There may be some glaze early so ski with awareness. Prime ski time will be from about 10 until 3 today as the snow will be staying cold even if the air warms. We are still treating the 5k gently due to snow depth in a few areas and to help protect the golf course turf.

Classic and skate skiing will be very good today. Air temperatures will drift above freezing today under partly sunny skies. Wax will will be blue/violet for kick and Blue/violet for glide. If we see the snow transform early afternoon, you may want to consider a top coat of red.
Please pay attention to where you are going out there. Be aware of icy patches in the parking lot and walkways. Walk with care in your ski boots and use the handrail on the stairs. We are working cooperatively with Park City every day to make your community resource a great place to play year-round. The store and service shop are OPEN all day. We can wax your skis and upgrade your gear as needed. No walking, dogs, running, cycling, driving or trespassing on the trails.
If you need to take a physical and/or mental therapy getaway or a news cycle break we’re here for you. It will be a great afternoon to drop off your skis for an invigorating spa treatment so they’ll be ready for your adventures. Slip on those gloves, pull on your beanie, touch up your sunscreen and head outside to play! Stay hydrated, spread Joy and Happiness on the trails, look out for signs of wild bunnies, ski safe and be kind. Thank you for being part of our amazing community and reading all the way down to the bottom of this lengthy trail report. Go for a ski and then drop in the store to say hi and visit for a few minutes. See you on the trails!
