Groomed the Upper, Lower, and Pavilion Loops today. About 1/2 inch of new snow was great! Sadly, we are losing snow up here, and now there are thin spots on the north side of the track almost everywhere. No classic set today as that side of the track is thin. Be careful! However, lots of great skiing up here still, plenty of snow on most of the loops. If you have been enjoying the skiing this year, feel free to send me an email at matthew.hales@usda.gov. I’m also looking for some volunteer help to cut some new ski trail at Spruces this summer. Thanks!

Due to the lack of snow and high temperatures we have decided to close the Nordic Trails for the season. It has been a fantastic season for us and we truly appreciate all the continued support. We are having our Nordic Golf Shop Sale starting on the 20th. (40% OFF all nordic items, Golf Apparel, Shoes, Hats and Bags.) Come in and do some shopping!! Thank you everyone who supported JR Nordic this season, it was a blast and we can’t wait for next season!
White Pine
Beautiful morning!!! about an inch of fresh snow. new classic tracks set on the 3k and 5k and Armstrong. Farm should be amazing later. Things are holding up fairly well. Hopefully the 5k will make it through to the colder weather this weekend. 3k is so good! Construction area is a bit of a mess so use caution. Red/Yellow wax today as it warms up. Skiing should be great through early afternoon with the moderate temperatures. A couple from out of town and numerous dog walkers postholed almost the entire classic and skate track on the 5 k late yesterday, but Lou has reset as much as possible this morning. Ski with caution, rewax and structure your skis!!!
Please help us save the tracks for as long as we can by reminding visitors, dog walkers and locals and new locals to go elsewhere.. Round Valley and Basin Rec trails come to mind…
only one set of poles left on the wall and 5 skate skis ~105 pounds so if your of that stature or know someone who is, get in to the shop. Lots of waxes on sale too! The person who buys the last set of skis off the wall will get a special prize!
Stay safe, Stay healthy and get out to ski today! Conditions are so very good
Solitude Nordic
Beautiful skiing this morning at SNC. ~4″-5″ of new snow and a little warm. Classic tracks and skate lanes on all trails are groomed. Get it while the getting is good!
Jeremy Ranch
We have groomed the Lower and upper trails this morning. Current conditions are very icy! Both tracks will soften up throughout the day with the temperatures reaching the low 40’s. Our bridges are covered but please use caution when approaching and skiing over them as they are thinning and narrowing. We appreciate all patrons coming to ski the Ranch. The season is ending quickly, so make sure to come ski today!
Spruces
I would (almost) never discourage someone from skiing, BUT at Spruces today, at least until it warms up, it will be a little rough-survival skiing with white knuckles and clenched teeth. Better in the afternoon. Just letting you know…
Tomorrow will be better.
Solitude Nordic
Beware the Ides of March! Middle and Little Redman were not groomed this morning. All other trails are groomed for SKATING only. No classic tracks. Fast snow-watch your speed, and don’t let anyone sneak up behind you and stab you in the back!
White Pine
Full on Spring conditions. Icy morning, sweet spot from about 10 til about 2, mushy in the afternoon. All trails are open, but ski with caution near thin or icy areas. Be aware of icy sections in the shade. Red wax and STRUCTURE today (yes, we’ll structure your skis for you for a small fee) The sale goes on with clothing marked way down. If you enjoy spring skiing and weigh around 145-160 pounds, there is one pair of marked down Salomon S-Lab white bases left.. just sayin.. One pair of Rossignol R Skin classics (155-185 lbs) left that are perfect for spring conditions as well.
Lessons are still available daily if you want to learn or fine tune your technique. Its a great time to embody some good habits to help you for this and future seasons. Check us out on the AP Newswire from yesterday! “Call of the wild: Great outdoors is great escape in pandemic”
Please purchase and display your pass! Help us remind walker, fat bikers. mountain bikers and dog owners that post holes and ruts are dangerous for skiers and really difficult to groom out. Help us remind them that Basin Recreation and Mountain Trails have wonderful multi-use trails just for those activities.

We have groomed for skate and set the classic lane on the Upper and Lower Trails last night. Coverage is still good with the new snowfall last night . Both tracks will soften up throughout the day with the temperatures reaching the low 40’s. Our bridges are covered but please use caution when approaching and skiing over them as they are thinning and narrowing. We appreciate all patrons coming to ski the Ranch. It should be a great day to come and ski! Have a great weekend!
Spruces
Peter Vordenberg groomed classic and skating for y’all this morning. Excellent conditions! 29° @ 0900
Solitude Nordic
Warmer this morning with snow, wind and a little graupel thrown in the mix. Skiing on the lake is very windy with blowing and drifting snow, so skiing in the trees will be the best option. Everything groomed for skate skiing. No classic tracks today.
Mountain Dell
Mountain Dell Grooming Report for 3/14/21. Main, Mitten and Lollitop groomed for skate and classic. Beware, snow is very thin. Rock skis recommended. This is the last day of grooming. Enjoy.
White Pine
Happy Pi Day! another inch of fresh snow this morning! Definitely moderate temperatures so red wax and structure are the key. Everything groomed for skate this morning. All 22Km! Tracks will be set by around 10am now that the wind has died down. Should be a perfect ski day, so get here!
By the way, our sale starts today with big markdowns on remaining clothing, and great prices on remaining skis, boots and poles. All sales are final.
Please purchase and display your trail pass while skiing White Pine. Let everyone know that you are part of keeping skiing strong in Utah. Help us remind walkers, dog owners, sledders and fat bikers that the White Pine Ski Trails are for skiers. Our snowshoe trail is for snowshoers. There are wonderful multi-use opportunities at Round Valley and Basin Trails. Perfect places for those non-ski activities.
We’ll see you outside!
Jeremy Ranch
We have groomed for skate and set the classic lane on the Upper and Lower Trails last night. Coverage is still good with the new snowfall last night . Both tracks will be a little crusty and fast early morning because of colder temperatures last night. And will soften up throughout the day with the temperatures reaching the mid 30’s. We appreciate all patrons coming to ski the Ranch. It should be a great day to come and ski! Have a great weekend!
Solitude Nordic
Snowfall last night was 6 inches and trails are soft but looking good this morning. The cold temps this morning and a high of 21 today will keep the snow soft and from melting. Avoid the crowds at the resorts today by Nordic skiing up at Solitude.
Mountain Dell
The last hurrah! Main loop, partial Mitten, Boomerang and Lollypop were groomed for skate for those needing to rock one last day at the Dell.
Chances of a light dusting overnight. Ski fairly early and watch for bare spots and grass. On behalf of all us volunteer Mountain Dell groomers, thanks for skiing our track. We’d feel like idiots if nobody ever showed up ! Have a great Spring and Summer.
