Main, Mitten, Boomerang, Lollipop, and Park Bypass were all groomed Friday evening. New classic was set on all except the Lollipop stem. Depending on whether we get rain or snow tonight and how much, skiing may be decent tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a cold night.

East Canyon Hwy skate track refreshed early this afternoon, to much acclaim from passing skiers. Go get it if you can, before the heavy wet snow and rain of the long storm cycle beginning tonight.

Good Morning,
It’s another cold, bluebird morning!! We were able to groom for skate on the upper and lower trails. The classic lanes on both trails are in great shape and were reset this morning. It will be a crisp start to the day but it is expected to warm up to the high 30s’s this afternoon. We are hoping for some new snow starting tomorrow. Pray for no rain.
Season passes,10-punch ski passes and a great selection of Nordic merchandise are readily available. Come on in, warm up and have a look around!!
Have a great Friday!!

No matter what your Google Maps tells you, the ski trails are not a road. Please use your windshield and best decision making skills if for some reason Google guides you to a ski trail entrance. Google will not respond to correct this, so please make good choices. Tows are expensive and can lead to us charging you to regroom the trail. Thank you.
The rescheduled Wasatch Citizens Series 10km Classic will be held at the Farm on Saturday February 1st. Please note the early 9:00am start for the kids, ~9:20 start for adults. Parking will be limited due to a church function mid-day so carpool, drop-off or shuttle from the Meadows Drive or Farm trailhead parking lots. This is the rescheduled race from December. Registration is now closed. The Farm trail will be closed to public skiing from Friday afternoon for race grooming until mid-day Saturday. Please respect the closure. Bib pickup will be at the church social hall from 7:30 am to 8:30 am. No onsite registration.
Good morning! This might be the best day in the next several to get out and play on the trails. We’re looking at a sunny start to our day with temperatures rising with breezes and clouds appearing later in the day. The 3km, 5km and Armstrong trails were groomed beautifully last night. All 22km of trails are open for skiing today with classic and skate tracks. We’ll have a cold packed powder surface on the trails. You’ll glide best with blue wax early, it may warm in to the purple wax zone in the afternoon. Grip wax will be blue today with warming air temperatures in the afternoon. The dog loop is open and running quite happily through the fields. The Farm is in great shape and is a fee area for skiing. No walking, dogs, running, cycling, driving or trespassing on the trails.
A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always a great way to keep them from sticking as the snow changes during the day. Skin skis are a fantastic no-fuss classic option if hard wax isn’t in your wheelhouse. Bring your loved ones, friends and neighbors along to play on the snow and if you need to take a physical and/or mental therapy break we’re here for you every day. Drop off your skis when you’re done skiing for the day for an invigorating overnight spa treatment. Please purchase AND display your trail pass to access our trails. Glide with Joy, share the trails and be kind. Thank you for being part of our amazing ski family and enjoying very long trail reports. Grab that beanie, your good gloves, SPF 30+, your sunglasses, snug up your laces and come play outside! Ski well!
Mountain Dell
At Mountain Dell on Thursday night
The groomers arrived to make the track right
The bare spots were spotted and shoveled with snow
To prolong the skiing before the rain shows
The skate deck was buffed and made pretty sweet
And classic was set, though not perfectly neat
On Mitten and Main and Boomerang too
The skating is good and the classic will do
Lollipop Loop cleaned up real nice
The classic up there no longer has ice
Upcoming weather could be pretty bad
So come ski on Friday there’s still fun to be had.

Completed yesterday evening’s East Canyon Hwy groom after it was abandoned due to equipment failure. Skate track refreshed from gate to first switchback, providing much-improved conditions, particularly on the first 1.5 mi. to the bathroom at the MoPi trail crossing that had gotten extremely firm. Classic also reset from gate to bathroom, providing moderately improved conditions over existing, user-maintained track. No new classic set from bathroom to first switchback, as this section was generally in better shape and any improvement appeared uncertain. Yesterday evening’s classic and skate above first switchback remained in pretty good shape. With days of rain and very wet snow in the forecast, tomorrow would be a good time to get out there.

Partially groomed this evening. We started as usual from the restroom and groomed to the pass. The classic and skate look good to the first switchback, and mixed from there to the restroom : A mechanical issue while descending made it necessary to end grooming when we reached the restroom. The trail from the gate to the restroom is tired and has lots of snowmobile damage. Early skiers who tolerate the conditions to the restroom will be rewarded with great skiing above it. The lower section will be groomed in the morning but the completion time is not established. Enjoy the canyon before the warm weather and rain destroys our nice but shallow snowpack down low.

TODAY is the last day to drop off your skis for a Boulder Mountain Tour Race wax before you go to Sun Valley. Get them in soon!
Today’s Haiku: “Gliding open fields, tracks of a white rabbit cross, Silent snow whispers.” Cold on the trails before sunrise again this morning. We’re looking at a bright sunny day with temperatures rising with the midday sun. We regroomed the 5km this morning with our new snowcat and left the rest since they are in such great skiing shape. All 22km of trails are open for skiing today with classic and skate tracks. We’ll have a squeaky surface to start your day. You’ll glide best with green wax early, then blue wax from mid-morning. Grip wax will be green going to blue today with slightly warming air temperatures in the afternoon. The dog loop is open and running enthusiastically through the fields. The Farm is in fantastic shape and is a fee area for skiing. No walking, dogs, running, cycling or trespassing on the trails.
