All trails groomed for skate and classic. About 6″ new snow since yesterday but it firmed up pretty nicely. 19° at 9am, high of 29° with light snow this pm.

Free parking for the rest of the season!

It’s looking like great conditions for the Silver Lake Loppet race this Saturday. Details and sign-up here: https://www.solitudemountain.com/things-to-do/events-and-activities/silver-lake-loppet

Spruces

Some overnight snow helped refresh Spruces a little bit. The areas that were showing pavement got some snow, but are very thin as of this morning. Packed and rolled all of the Upper Spruces Loop and Lower Spruces Loop. The section on the lower part of Nursery Meadows is the thinnest part of the track. It is still currently snowing, so hopefully some of the thin areas will fill in a bit more.

Spruces was groomed Sunday morning by TUNA. Fresh corduroy on all Upper Loops and most of Lower. Skate should be quite worthwhile on Upper, OK on Lower. No classic yet, but it should be a snowy week, so we’ll see. Enjoy!

Saturday at noon we just put down some limited corduroy. Upper Loop only. Watch for more grooming throughout next week’s storm cycle.

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!

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!
