Cary and John groomed Saturday morning and as of noon it was still skiing great. Main, Mitten, Lower to Swanson’s, Lollipop, Boomerang and Wiggle Room are all open. If you duck the rope to ski Creek, use caution! There are a few bare spots that you will come upon at speed and they will take you down! We will be grooming again this evening. PLEASE STAY OFF THE COURSE AFTER 6 P.M. SATURDAY! The skiing Sunday should be quite good until about noon Sunday. See you out there!
Spruces
What a wonderful day to be in the mountains. Groomed the Upper and Lower Loops and set the classic track. Dragged Jordan Pines, I think we’ll take over the grooming equipment next week when the snow settles a little bit more. Sushi Scale: Alaska Roll
Soldier Hollow
It’s a beautiful wintry day here at Soldier Hollow. Be aware that the Wasatch Citizen Series race is this morning! For less crowds, be sure to show up after 12:00 P.M. Come enjoy our manmade and natural trails today!
* The below Grooming report is likely meant for Solitude Nordic, not Soldier Hollow. This is our grooming report of the day.
Mountain Dell
Cary and John groomed Saturday morning. Thin is the word of the day. Heads up, use caution! They reset skate on Main, Mitten, Lower to Swanson’s and Lollipop. Creek is closed due to several bare spots. If you choose to duck the rope, watch for rocks! Too thin to reset classic, but the tracks on Main were still mostly well formed late Friday afternoon. Might be last call! Get out and enjoy the sunny day.

Happy Saturday,
We have groomed a 1km lower loop on hole #6 next to the trailhead and it is in great shape for both skate and classic. Unfortunately, the rest of the lower trail is not skiable at this time due to lack of snow on our connection bridges. We still would need a few more inches to get the entire lower trail open. The team has completed grooming our upper 1.5km trail and it is also in great shape for both skate and classic.
Day passes will be $10 for the rest of the season!
We currently have a “Glide Into the Nordic Golf Shop Sale” on all of our Nordic apparel and equipment. The Nordic Golf Shop is stocked with ski equipment from Atomic and Salomon, and Nordic apparel from Kjus, Rossignol and Odlo
Have a great day and enjoy the snow!!
Thanks for your support of the Jeremy Ranch Nordic Center!

Saturday Haiku:
Time to grab your gear,
Bundle up warm this morning,
ski the day, smile.
It is going to be a bluebird day! Starting out at 0F this morning with sunshine and warming through the day. We are snowcat grooming the 3k “Community Loop”, the 5km loop and Armstrong this morning. Armstrong was groomed and will be very soft but good. The deep culverts and drainages on the farm still risk damaging equipment and skiers. The dog loop has been flooded from irrigation water and is a grassy ice rink.
It’s another blue wax, SPF 50, fresh groomed snow day at White Pine Touring. Please stay off the golf course and other trails unless you’re on skis. Someone walked the entire 3k loop yesterday with their dog and spoiled thousands of dollars of hard grooming work. Round Valley, Basiv Rec and Willow Creek are fantastic dog options.
Warm red beanies are recommended and be cautious, it is icy out on the sidewalks.
The shop and trails are OPEN 9-5 today offering lessons, trail passes, gear sales, waxing service, rental skis and snowshoes. Drop off your skis for a spa wax treatment. Join us for thankful snow dances, offerings to Ullr, and very happy snow bunnies as we watch the sun set from the deck!
Please do not walk cycle or run on the Nordic Trails. Please do not walk your dogs and let them poop on the nordic trails. We work very hard to provide a quality ski experience for our paying customers and walking yourself and your dogs on the trails could be considered trespassing and violates municipal code. Round Valley, Willow Creek and Basin trails all offer exceptional options for taking your dog, yourself or your bicycle out.
Fairview
Fairview picked up some snow today- enough to mostly cover the short grass of golf course fairways. One intrepid soul set out and did some classic skiing but coverage is thin- about an inch. With a cold night, it might be possible to ski around Saturday morning. But no grooming possible- not even close. The forecast would also indicate that what little snow has fallen will disappear quickly. The new Yamaha Grizzly is “all dressed up with nowhere to groom.”
Mountain Dell
All trails except Lower beyond Cullen’s Cutoff groomed for skate this morning. Still a bit soft and thin in spots but shaping up nicely. Classic tracks from yesterday still good on most central trails but too thin to set on Creek and Lower. Beautiful morning!! Enjoy skiing at the Dell!!
Soldier Hollow
It’s a beautiful wintry day here at Soldier Hollow. Come enjoy our manmade and natural trails today! Be aware that the next Wasatch Citizen Series race is tomorrow morning!
Jeremy Ranch
God Morgen,
We have groomed a 1km lower loop on hole #6 next to the trailhead and it is open for skate and classic. Unfortunately, the rest of the lower trail is not skiable at this time due to lack of snow on our connection bridges. During the recent storm, the snow blew around too much and has left the bridges very thin of coverage. We still would need a few more inches to get the entire lower trail open. The team has completed grooming our upper 2.5km trail and is open as well for skate and classic. Conditions are a little thin in spots on the upper trail but has groomed in great shape. Feel free to call the Nordic Golf Shop for more information or any questions.
We currently have a “Glide Into the Nordic Golf Shop Sale” on all of our Nordic apparel and equipment. The Nordic Golf Shop is stocked with ski equipment from Atomic and Salomon, and Nordic apparel from Kjus, Rossignol and Odlo
Have a great day and enjoy the snow!!

The place we live in,
Olympic dreams are made here,
set your goals and go.

IN-TOWN NORDIC IS BACK! We received another inch of fluff on top of nearly a foot of groomed snow since Wednesday! We groomed the 3k “Community Loop”, the 5km loop and Armstrong last night. The morning fluff will offer some very good skiing today for skate and classic. Armstrong was groomed and will be very soft but good.
The deep culverts and drainages on the farm still risk damaging equipment and skiers, we’ll head out and see what might be possible there. The dog loop has been flooded from irrigation water and is a grassy ice rink.
It’s another blue wax, snow bunny and fresh snow day at White Pine Touring. Please stay off the golf course and other trails unless you’re on skis. Warm red beanies are recommended and be cautious, it is icy out on the sidewalks. The shop is OPEN 9-5 today offering lessons, trail passes, gear sales, waxing service, rental skis and snowshoes. Drop off your skis for a spa wax treatment. Join us for thankful snow drum chants, offerings to Ullr, and very happy snow bunnies as we watch the sun set in the Wasatch back this evening!

Solitude Nordic
Good morning! At 0730 it is 6°F with an inch overnight and it is presently snowing. Expect soft conditions for skate skiing and excellent classic. There will be heavy road traffic, so plan accordingly.
Payson Nordic
All trails have been groomed and we will try and groom again on Monday. There is near 1 foot of snow on the nebo loop and 8 to 10″ in the Gladstan golf course and Forebay trails area
SR-65
P.S. Groomed only to the restroom at approximately 1.7 miles from the gate.
SR-65
First groom of the season today and we typically stop at the end of the month. Six inches at the gate compacted to 2″ or less. Solo groom due to machine issues. We normally use “teeth” but could not due to mechanical issues. Could not set classic due to mechanical issues and the snow being too thin in many places. Still, it was wonderful to be back on snow in this canyon! We hope to get another snowmobile in place tomorrow. The next groom will be with fully function equipment and the goal will be to groom to the top. Enjoy the lower canyon!
