Good morning Spruces skiers. Wow. Over a foot of new snow today. Reed and I sledpacked and rolled all of Spruces and Jordan Pines today. Have fun!
Jeremy Ranch
God Morgen,
Our first significant storm of the winter season finally got us enough snow to open 1km. We have groomed the 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. 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 is currently working on packing and grooming our upper trail and we will have more information on that trail later today. The winter conditions need to come fast and furious. Thank you for your patience and 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
Ha en flott dag,
Thanks for your support of the Jeremy Ranch Nordic Center!
Mountain Dell
Norm and Rob are wrestling with the new snow. Anticipating limited (Main and Mitten) skate and classic track by 11a. We will continue to have machines on course much of the day as we try to expand the groomed terrain. Please give machines a very wide berth and know that all surfaces that are being groomed are very, very soft. See you out there!
Fairview
Fairview is chilly this morning with a bit of snow from yesterday’s storms. However, if you are looking to ski, you may have to wait. Lots of wind meant that what snow did fall blew around quite a bit so coverage is not only thin but variable with bare spots. Skiing not recommended (I broke my ankle last month trying to ski on a trace of snow- similar conditions) and certainly not enough snow to think about putting a machine and groomer on the trails. We are running out of time to try out the new Yamaha Grizzly!
Soldier Hollow
Winter is really back! Enough new snow that we have groomed up many of our natural trails – come enjoy your favorites for the first time this season!
White Pine
Thursday Haiku:
Fresh snow and sunshine,
Cold temperatures are back,
Seize the day and ski!
Wow! IN-TOWN NORDIC IS BACK! We received nearly a foot of snow yesterday! We were able to fire up the brand new snowcat for the first time this season. We are snowcat grooming the 3k “Community Loop” for a 9:00 am opening and then we’ll regroom the 5km loop. Armstrong and the Farm may come on after we assess the snow depth and drifting late tonight.
It’s a bluebird, blue wax, snow bunny and white corduroy day at White Pine.
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. 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 after your laps. Join us for a thankful snow drum circle, offerings to Ullr, and very happy snow bunnies as we watch the sun arc across the sky!

Solitude Nordic
All trails groomed for skate and classic. Three feet of snow over the last two days, the Great Salt Lake is singing hallelujah!
1° at 8am, high of 19°. Partly cloudy with a chance of light snow and heavy downhill skier traffic.
Mountain Dell
We have snow, but can’t get to it. Plows have not yet gone beyond the UDOT shed, and the roadway is impassible. We endeavor to get after it early Thursday, but it will be a big task. We anticipate having limited track (Main, Mitten, Bypass) groomed for skate and classic by about 11 A.M. Please do not get on course before then. Thanks.
Spruces
Good morning Spruces skiers. We are getting a lot of snow up here! We sled packed and rolled all of Spruces and Jordan Pines today. The snow is still falling heavily as we are leaving, lots more to come.
Soldier Hollow
More snow! We got such a good amount that the natural trails can be skied at your own risk! And more has come – 3-4 inches overnight and falling heavily as we speak. We apologize for the unplowed in road. Please be safe! We have the Charter School Olympics today! We will be setting up various courses in the stadiums from 8:30 am – noon and then the competitions are from noon – 3 pm! You are welcome to ski anywhere anytime, just please be courteous.
Solitude Nordic
The big one is here! We’re talking in FEET: 1.5′ overnight, 2′ forecast for today, snowing very hard now.
Lake loop to Evergreen, Cabin Fever to New Sensation to Solitude Street were groomed this morning (I promise, there are classic tracks under there somewhere). It will take a few days to pack the trails and get everything open.
Be careful if you come up this week, there will be lots of traffic and snow on the road.
White Pine
Wednesday Haiku:
Praise the Snow Goddess,
Trail prep is underway,
Tomorrow we ski!
We received some good snow overnight and more expected during the day. We are at about 6 inches total with the wind moving the fresh snow around. We will be doing trail preparation today in anticipation of opening for skiing again tomorrow (Thursday). We are packing the trail from grass two days ago, so give us a chance to make certain the base is set so the skiing will last as long as possible. It’s by far the largest storm we’ve had all season. THE NORDIC SHOP REMAINS OPEN FOR SALES, WAXING, RENTALS AND SERVICE. We are still offering ski rentals for and our guided ski and snowshoe tours. Please stay off the golf course and other trails to help preserve the base and prevent damage as we prepare the tracks. Warm red beanies are recommended wear in blustery times. The shop is OPEN 9-5 today offering gear sales, waxing service, rental skis and snowshoes. Drop off your skis for a spa wax treatment before the trails reopen. Join us for snow drum circle, thankful offerings to Ullr, and very happy snow bunnies as we watch the snow stack up!
Spruces
Spruces was groomed this afternoon between storm 1 and storm 2. Classic lanes are crisp and skating is still soft, but should set up nicely.
Spruces
TUNA laid down a fresh groom for skate and classic.
Soldier Hollow
Snoooooooow! Only about an inch so far but coming down well. We groomed our 4-5 km at 8 am so as good as you can expect in very windy, graupelly conditions right now! 2-4 more inches predicted for the rest of the day!
Solitude Nordic
Good morning! At 0740 it is 21°F with 4″ new snow. All trails groomed this morning for skate and classic skiing. Expect softer conditions and classic tracks filling in as the day progresses.
