Rough week for the ski track. Due to the warm weather, we are starting to see pavement in a few spots, especially in the Lower Spruces Loop. Tried dragging the single track this morning, but it didn’t seem to be helping much. Hopefully, some of the projected snow can give us enough of a lift to get through the next couple of weeks.

We closed on March 27th for the season. 113 days on snow out of a 115 day season. Thank you all for your ongoing support in this crazy weather year. We’re planning on opening November 22nd for our 48th year! You all are the best!

It had to happen eventually… We will be closing for the season at 5:00pm today. It’s been a crazy season for weather, but we’ve managed to stay open for skiing all but two days since December 2nd. We’d like to thank each and every one of you who visited us this season. We have the best customers, friends and neighbors in our ski community and you are all truly the best part of the work for our nearly 50 Nordic Center employees. We spend the winter as a big family helping you learn new skills, taking care of your skis and providing you with some incredible ski trails. Thank you for spending the winter with us and we’ll plan on being back and seeing you on November 22nd for the start of the 25-26 Winter Season!
That’s a wrap folks. Today we draw a close to our 47th continuous year of making magic on the Park City golf course. No need to moan. Embrace the Joy that we managed to have skiing 113 days of a 115 day season in the most challenging weather possible. We can’t sugar coat the impact of three days of 70 degree temperatures and weeks of warm weather. There is still a bit of snow out there, but there is a great deal of water, ice, grass and mud too. The 3km and Armstrong have patches of okay skiing, but it might be best to consider a bike ride or a walk today. Best skiing will be at higher elevations for the next several weeks. There are icy patches, grassy patches, running water, exposed pavement and wet areas lurking under snow and along the trail so keep your eyes open, stay alert and ski safely if you feel brave enough to venture out on the remaining meters. We continue to offer our “go outside to play” services all year at our Bonanza Drive store. Snowshoe rentals and tours will be available at our year round store on Bonanza Drive through mid April. Grab your SPF30+, your sunglasses, your beachwear for the tropical heat wave, keep an eye out basking bunnies and ducks, be safe and be kind. Enjoy the irony that it will cool off and snow this weekend. Thank you for being part of our incredible community and for coming out to play with us all season long. Drop in the store to say hello, shop the last day of our sale and visit for a bit before we close this afternoon. Everyone be safe and grab some winter-ish fun while you can!
Solitude Nordic
All trails groomed for skate and classic. 42° at 8am, high of 56°.
From here on out, skiing will be most excellent in the mornings, but sloppy after noon. We are expecting to stay open until at least April 13!
Soldier Hollow
Open to season passholders only now until the trails all melt. Absolutely fabulous fast fun skate skiing here today! Open trails in great shape – come enjoy before it all turns to goop!

If it’s time for your summer storage wax, bring in your skis today. We’ll put some good wax on your bases for summer protection and scrape them for free when we reopen in November. Last chance to drop them off is this afternoon!
The melt cycle is in full swing. We’ll have warming temperatures through the day and have another afternoon above 60 degrees again. Crusty and very icy conditions early then turning to mashed potato by mid-day. We are not grooming today in order to preserve the snow that is remaining and protect the grass below. The 3km trail has several areas where route finding and grass walking are required. There are some pretty good out and back options for the 3k and Armstrong that avoid most of the non-continuous sections. Where it is good it is very good, but the trail has several gaps that are not skiable now. Best skiing will be from about 10:30 until 1. It will get quite sloppy out and skating will leave deep ruts and risk damaging your skis. We recommend classic skiing late in the day. If you see grass, pavement or mud in front of you, it is not fake news. Please slow down and work your way safely around.
Skiing will be icy, crunchy and firm early, but quickly transforming into tropical slurpee consistency. The 3km and Armstrong trails will be open today. There are icy patches, grassy patches, running water, exposed pavement and wet areas lurking under snow and along the trail so keep your eyes open, stay alert and ski safely. Wax will be red/yellow with aggressive wet structure for both kick and glide. Polishing, spraying, dripping and ironing some fresh wax on the tips and tails of your equipment will definitely help bring more Joy to your gliding experience. Walk with care in your ski boots and use the handrail on the stairs.
We continue to offer our “go outside to play” services daily through tomorrow. You have until this afternoon to drop off your skis for a hot wax spa session to keep you gliding or an enriching storage wax if you’re done for the season. Grab your SPF30+, your sunglasses, your beachwear for the tropical heat wave, keep an eye out basking bunnies and ducks, ski safe and be kind.

Open to season pass holders from 8:30-1 today – nice freeze overnight, so should stay a bit firmer longer today. We pushed out some snow whales to augment some sections, while abandoning others, so great skiing out here!

In the words of the Wicked Witch of the West, “Look what you’ve done! I’m melting, melting……. Oh what a world..” We’ll have warming temperatures through the day approaching 60 degrees again by late afternoon. Crusty and very icy conditions early then turning to mush by mid-day. We are not grooming today in order to preserve the snow that is remaining. The 3km trail has several areas where route finding and grass walking are required. Where it is good it is very good, but the trail has several gaps that are not skiable now. Armstrong has two open areas requiring caution to pass through. Best skiing will be from about 10:30 until 1. It will get quite sloppy out and skating will leave deep ruts. We recommend classic skiing late in the day. If you see grass, pavement or mud in front of you, please slow down and work your way safely around. Skiing will be icy, crunchy and firm early, but quickly transforming into tropical slurpee consistency. The 3km, Practice Loop and Armstrong trails will be open today. There are icy patches, grassy patches, exposed pavement and wet areas lurking under snow and along the trail so keep your eyes open, stay alert and ski safely.
Wax will be the rainbow again today with violet/red/yellow with structure for both kick and glide depending on what time of day you ski. Polishing, spraying, dripping and ironing some fresh wax on the tips and tails of your equipment will definitely help your gliding Joy.
Please be cautious of any icy, muddy or wet patches near the trails, on any pavement and on walkways. Walk with care in your ski boots and use the handrail on the stairs. We continue to offer our “unplug and get outside to play” services daily through Thursday. You have until tomorrow afternoon to drop off your skis for a hot wax spa session to keep you gliding or an enriching storage wax if you’re done for the season.
Grab your SPF30+, your sunglasses, your beachwear for the tropical heat wave, keep an eye out basking bunnies, ermine, birds and other wildlife, ski safe and be kind.

Good morning! At 0800 it is 32°F/0°C. All trails groomed for skate and classic. Variable spring conditions, but still excellent skiing. We have a lot of snow up here and might be the last game in town. Come on up.

We are open to season pass holders today from now until 1 pm. Very fast and firm out there with lots of muddy deer foot prints. Trails are melting out daily, so come get it while you can!

Another very warm Spring day. We’ll have warming temperatures through the day approaching 60 degrees by late afternoon. Best skiing will be from about 10 until 12. After mid-day, the magic 8 ball said “Don’t count on it.” It will get quite sloppy out and skating will leave deep ruts. We recommend classic skiing late in the day to help preserve the trails. We’re smoothing the 3km and Armstrong today. The classic tracks were reset yesterday where possible so they’ll be a bit icy early then softer after mid-morning. There are a couple growing gaps in the trail due to the thin coverage and heat. If you see grass in front of you, please slow down and work your way safely around. Skiing will be crunchy and firm early, but quickly transforming into slurpee consistency.
The 3km, Practice Loop and Armstrong trails will be open today. Trails will be crunchy icy early for skating with glaze in the tracks for classic. There are icy patches, grassy patches, exposed pavement and wet areas lurking under snow and near the trail so keep your eyes open, stay alert and ski safely.
Wax will be the rainbow again today with violet/red/yellow with structure for both kick and glide depending on what time of day you ski. It will get sticky for a while today as the air warms, so polishing, spraying, dripping and ironing some fresh wax on the tips and tails of your skis will definitely maximize your Joy.
We continue to offer our “get outside and unplug” services daily through Thursday. It will be a great afternoon to drop off your skis for a hot wax spa session to keep you gliding or an enriching storage wax if you’re done for the season. Grab your SPF30+, tug on your thinnest gloves, grab your beachwear for the heat wave, keep an eye out for bunnies, ermine, birds and other wildlife, ski safe and be kind.
