All open trails groomed for skate Monday evening. Classic track that was set Monday morning was in great shape, so we left it alone. Creek and Lower still closed. It was 12 degrees when we left this evening, with no skiers on course. Should set up nicely overnight. Enjoy Tuesday skiers!

UPDATE
As of 10:00 am, gusts are continuing but diminishing. The 5km loop has been groomed with one pass and one classic track. Snowcat set between the nordic center and duck ponds on the 5km. Making additional passes on the 3km with single classic set. Still windy but the sun is out. We had very high winds and drifting this morning. The wind forecast looks like some more calming. Definitely a good day to enjoy that second cup of tea or coffee before you head out. 3km and 5km are first priority for grooming and track setting. NO Farm or Armstrong today. 4-6 foot drifts on the Farm in places. Exciting day!
Fairview
The track was groomed this morning. A bit tricky since the new snow (packed and rolled yesterday) came wet then froze last night so our trails were a little crusty. But the skate lane has been dragged/ buffed out and a new classic track was set so skiing should be very good. The classic track looks great. I will be back over there later this morning to ski.

Good Morning,
Happy MLK Day!! We groomed for skate and classic this morning and all 4.5km of trails are open on the Lower Trail!! The skate lanes groomed up really nicely and the snow conditions are firm. Classic lanes are set and should ski nicely throughout the day. The wind will be a factor as the trails may get wind blown throughout the day. The Upper Trail is closed at this time but we put lots of work into packing it yesterday. Once the winds die down we will be able to fully groom the Upper Trail. Feel free to reach out to the Nordic Center with any questions or for more information.
Have a great week!!!

Mountain Dell
Jerry Richardson and Tom Doughtery reset all classic and skate Monday morning at Mtn Dell. Course leveled out much better than yesterday, and the snow has dried out from yesterday. Everything open and regroomed except Creek and Lower, which both need more snow before we can safely open them. Wind has definitely been a factor this morning, so expect some drifting in of classic tracks and some portions of the skate lane.

WE WILL UPDATE THE GROOMING REPORT LATER THIS MORNING. as of 7:30 am, high gusts are continuing. Very High winds and drifting this morning. The wind forecast looks like some calming after 8 am so we’ll get out to track pack and groom as soon as visibility improves and the gusts settled down a bit. Definitely a good day to enjoy that second cup of tea or coffee before you head out. 3km and 5km are set for first priority for grooming and track setting. About 8 more inches of snow yesterday, but with the wind it is deeper in some places and less deep in others. Very high wind gusts, sustained wind and drifting this morning. Please dress for the weather today Skiing will be slow today with the track soft and the fresh snow. Come share the Joy of skiing in fresh snow! Red wax is the call today. Snowshoes will also be a very good option today. We have rentals! We are open 9-5 daily. Please continue to be careful and ski within your abilities. Ski with awareness and keep an eye on the weather. We will have at least 10km of skiing groomed by midday today. Please ride the bus, micro transit, carpool, skateboard, cycle, e-bike or walk if you can. Parking is available all around the hotel and underground but everything you can do to reduce single driver trips helps! We’ll focus grooming on the 3k and 5k early. We’ll get to Armstrong, the dog loop and the farm as we can. The farm is unlikely again today. Go play in the new snow, make a snow angel or snowperson off the trail, share the Joy and enjoy what is looking to be a breezy and blustery day! Be safe, several roads have limited visibility and large drifts.

Hi. 25°F/-4°C at 0720 with 4″ new overnight. Very windy up here. The best skiing today will be out of the wind on the Redman’s. None of the trails above the cabins have been groomed due to a large tree and power line across the trail. If you go near this area PLEASE TREAT THIS LINE AS A LIVE/HOT/DEADLY LINE INTIL IT IS REPAIRED. It is best to avoid it altogether.
Fairview
Fairview got a very generous storm Saturday night (8″?). The temperatures this morning were warmer than last night so the snow has become wetter since it fell. Nevertheless, the track has been rolled so all that new snow has been packed on the track. There are a couple skiers out now skating but a final skate lane groom and classic track will have to wait until early Monday, if all goes according to plan. Colder temperatures would also help and I think they are coming. Fairview has a lot of snow! and should make for good skiing for quite some time.
White Pine
3km, 5km and Armstrong are groomed and track set. Light snow midday. It is a beautiful winter wonderland! Without question it is definitely winter now. 12″ of snow overnight, high winds and drifting this morning. Snowcat grooming knocked everything into shape and skiing is quite good! We have at least 10km of skiing groomed today.

Seriously, once the wind died down it turned into an amazing ski day!

Good Morning,
It’s a Winter Wonderland!! We received over 12 inches of new snow in the overnight. We groomed for skate and classic this morning and all 4.5km of trails are open on the Lower Trail!! The skate lanes groomed up really nicely and the snow conditions are very soft. Classic lanes are set and should ski nicely throughout the day. The Upper Trail is closed at this time but our groomers are currently out on the trail packing the fresh, new snow. The expectation is to have the Upper Trail open later today if all goes well. Feel free to reach out to the Nordic Center with any questions or for more information.
Have a great Sunday and enjoy the snow!!!

16-18″ of new snow overnight, the groomers were out this morning so trails will be soft for most of the day. Check out the full report: https://utaholympiclegacy.org/grooming-report-ski-conditions/

Hi. 16″ new overnight and 27°/-2° at 0810. All trails groomed this morning except Camp Loop. No classic tracks today, but user defined classic should be good.
Mountain Dell
Good day to have an extra waffle and hang out at home a bit longer. We are on it, but it will take a while. As of 7:30 A.M. Sunday, we have a bit more than six inches of very dense snow and more is falling. Winds are gusting in the mid- to upper 30 mph range. Temperature has been warm, in the 33F-35F range all night long. By 11 A.M. wind is expected to slow to around 10 mph and the snowfall rate is expected to decrease but snowfall will continue. By 11 A.M. our goal is to have Main, Mitten and perhaps a bit more groomed for skate and classic. We anticipate having machines on course for much of the day, so be aware and move to the side when encountering groomers. Given the expected continuing snowfall and the 33 degree temperature, it will be a great day for classic on skin skis or fishscales. Enjoy!

Grooming will be delayed this morning. Updates will follow as the storm and wind ease around 8 am. Without question it is definitely winter now. CONDITIONS WILL BE CHALLENGING EARLY TODAY. 12″ of snow overnight, near 40mph high winds and drifting this morning. Grooming will be delayed until visibility improves and the wind settles down. Please dress for the weather today. Another snowy cold night with mixed high winds. Wind drifting of classic track will be happening all day. Keep an eye on the weather, this storm cycle has been quite interesting. Bundle up with a buff and your warmest gloves! Classic and skating will be adventurous. 9-12″ of snow overnight, windy, drifted conditions overnight and this morning. Skiing will be slow today with the track soft and the fresh snow. Skating will be unlikely early. Classic will be expedition style until the wind dies down. It might be good to enjoy a hot beverage before you come to share the Joy of skiing in fresh snow! Red wax is probably the call today. Snowshoes are definitely a great option early!
We are open 9-5 daily. Please continue to be careful and ski within your abilities. Ski with awareness and keep an eye on the weather. We will have at least 8km of skiing groomed today.

Several feet of new snow. Rolled Spruces and Jordan Pjnes yesterday, rolled Spruces today. Enjoy!
