EVERY TRAIL groomed this morning, including all of Lower and World Cup. Leigh sled packed last night, and Roch and Coty are finishing up corduroy and classic on the last of the Lower now. Main, Mitten, Kids, Bypass, Boomerang, Wiggle Room, Lower all the way, Creek, World Cup and Lollipop. Sunny and nice. Get after it.
SR-65
East Canyon highway received the usual sled packing after a big storm (multiple laps with only snowmobiles) to Big Mountain pass this evening. After this preparatory step, grooming attempts were abandoned because of getting stuck multiple times (sled track spinning on icy snow under new snow). The sled pulling the stuck sled was even getting stuck! It was packed fairly well, so hearty skiers may enjoy skating. Of course, classic will be set by skiers. Hopefully, the new, packed snow sets up and bonds to the slippery layer so the actual groom can resume tomorrow.
Mountain Dell
About four inches of good medium density snow fell midday at Mtn Dell. We will be working it a bit tonight and then grooming it Saturday morning. Ski conditions should be good after about 10 A.M. Saturday. Anything earlier than 8 A.M. will likely cause skate steps to trench the new snow. Sleep in, have a leisurely cup of coffee and then head up to ski a bit later. Best for the track, best for the groomers, best for the ski community. Enjoy!
Deer Hollow Winter Recreation Area
Yesterday Deer Hollow was groomed for the first time this season with the big State SnoCat Groomer. All of the XC trails, some 20 Km, including the outer meadow loop, were groomed and tracks were set. Skating and classic conditions should be great for Fri and the weekend.
The snowshoe trails were groomed, also for the first time this season with the little YTS Groomer pulled by a snowmobile.
Off trail or “backcountry” conditions are also great with about 3 ft. of snow with a firm crust on top, allowing skiing on top without breaking in.
Jeremy Ranch
We are grooming the skate lane and setting classic this morning. Snowfall will continue throughout the day which will lead to soft conditions and snowy trails. Enjoy the snow! Have a great day!
Fairview
Track groomed for skating 2/4 after a couple days of warm weather then a skiff of snow and colder. Skating is excellent. No classic track set today, Snow expected later today so trails will be groomed for skate and classic early Saturday morning.
White Pine
Moderate snow expected today. 3-6 inches overall according to the prognosticators. 3k and 5k will be grooming priorities through the day. We’ll try to get to the farm a bit later. A great day to pull out your classic skis and go for a little tour. Skating will be good with a packed track underneath the fresh. Stay safe and healthy and please purchase and display your trail pass!
Mountain Dell
Snow is expected to come in starting at 8 A.M. Friday. We groomed Thursday afternoon, with fresh skate and classic on Main, Boomerang, Kids’ Cutoff and the top of Lollipop. It will likely be covered over by about 11 A.M. Friday. Good skate before then, fun classic after. We will have a refreshed track again on Saturday morning. Enjoy!
Solitude Nordic
Fresh 10 inches groomed this morning. Conditions will be soft today.
Jeremy Ranch
We are grooming the Upper and Lower Trails for skate and setting classic lanes this morning. Conditions are soft after resent snowfall. Have a great day!
Mountain Dell
Main, Boomerang, Cutoffs and Lolly-top groomed this morning for skate only due to underlying warm ground. Skating should be good, conditions are soft but should improve in the coming days.

White Pine
Some Fresh snow this morning. 3k and 5k groomed and ready. Farm a little later in the day. Thank you to the people who tried to keep the privileged runner off the farm who post holed the entire track…. Your help is appreciated greatly. Please purchase and display your trail pass. Ski safe and aware.
Spruces
Good morning nordic- skiing enthusiasts! Spruces rolled last night and also again this morning. No classic track, but with the accumulating snow, it will be easy to make your own tracks. Skating will be excellent.
SR-65
East Canyon groomed tonight. Skate set to Big Mountain. Classic set to the 1st switchback.
First few hundred feet from gate may be a bit icy tomorrow. (Hard to forecast exactly what the track will be like after a freeze tonight?) But after the initial start skiing should be good tomorrow.
Jeremy Ranch
UPDATE: We will be grooming the Upper and Lower Trails this afternoon with grooming being completed by 1:30 pm. New snowfall has resulted in soft conditions. Enjoy the snow. Have a great day!
