Hi. 13°F/-11°C at 0800. No new snow. All trails groomed for classic and skate skiing.
White Pine
Partly cloudy and warming today. Afternoon temperatures near 40F. Cold overnight and the track is grooming up great for skate and classic. Soft this morning but the magic time will be from about 9:30 until 2. Conditions might get sticky later in the day with the humidity and warm air. The 5km, 3km and Armstrong loops will be groomed and track set today. The Farm and dog loop will be groomed afterwards when we can knock down the snowplow berms at the road crossings. Check our website for more updates. Come share the Joy of skiing! Red wax is the call today with the higher humidity and slightly warmer temperatures. Snowshoes are also a good option today. We have rentals! We are open 9-5 daily. Please continue to be careful and ski within your abilities.
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! 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 another beautiful day!
Great News Skiers! Bandanas Cafe at the Hotel Park City across the hall from us is now open until 8pm daily for your after-ski beverages, pizza and pasta. Now you can ski until sundown and then have a relaxing place to snack while you’re waiting for regular traffic on the highway and Sundance traffic to thin out!

Mountain Dell
All trails except Lower groomed last night for skate and classic. Conditions should be Excellent, although maybe a bit soft on Creek which we just opened. Classic skiing should be especially good with all new track. Enjoy!!
Fairview
Fairview got several new inches of warm snow Tuesday night- Wednesday. Last night the snow froze nicely and dried out a bit. This morning the trails were sled packed (thank you, Chris!) then groomed for skate and classic. Great results out there! The track seemed to hold up well into the afternoon despite the warm temperatures. We need January temperatures to return!
SR-65
Groomed for skate and classic to the first switchback. 10″ of new, wet snow at the gate and 14″ at the switchback. The snow made grooming a challenge, with a record number of stucks: More than the usual number getting all the way to the pass. Get stuck, shovel, unhitch, pull with tow ropes, use winch, etc. Wash, rinse, repeat. It took nearly 7 hours, when going to the first switchback usually takes perhaps 3 hours. Then, walkers center punched the groom.
If you are a walker or biker that visits this Nordic skiing website for walking/biking consideration, we ask your consideration on preserving the groom for the skiers for whom our work is intended. Please stay to the far right side and off the groom. To be clear, SR-65 is a public road and all users are welcome to engage in all activities allowable by law. Walking three abreast is allowable by law. Center punching with a fat bike is allowable by law. However, doing so damages the groom. At a minimum, the damage reduces the quality of skiing. The foot prints and bike tracks can also be hazardous to skiers when they trip on prints and get caught up in bike tracks. Today, three walkers were three abreast across the fresh groom. We stopped to request their consideration and explained the issues. Two of them understood, thanked us for our explanation and moved to the side to resume walking. “Larry”, however, kept center punching the groom. His friends yelled at him to move to the side. Larry ignored them. Don’t be a Larry. Please stay on the far right side while ascending and return on that side. PLEASE.
Mountain Dell
Mark and David groomed Thursday morning, resetting all classic and skate on everything that is open: Main, Mitten, Kids, Lollipop, Boomerang and Wiggle Room. Creek has been machined but is roped off. It is very soft, and skiing it today will cause damage that we likely won’t be able to repair until it snows again. Please respect the rope closure today. Thanks!
Moose cow and calves are wandering the course now. Be aware, and give them loads of distance. Do not disturb the moose!

Good Morning,
The snow hath cometh!! Ask and you shall receive!! We received 4-5 inches of new snow in the afternoon yesterday, along with the 4-5 that fell the night before. 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 good but soft. Classic lanes are set and should ski great throughout the day. The Upper Trail is open for skate and classic lane has been set. The Upper Trail has softer snow conditions but should firm up as the we keep grooming and get some skiers out on the trail. Going to be a warm stretch the next few days. Enjoy the skiing and hopefully some sunshine!!

Be sure to thank our incredible groomers when you see them. Lou, Roch, Matias, Mark, and Todd have been working extremely hard to make your ski experience the best it can be. And they have been doing a great job. None of that track and morning groom happens by accident. And please, if you see a stick, pinecone or willow branch on the trail, flick it off the trail.
We still have a couple of spots in our Mens Beginner Skate Clinic. Every Sunday in January 12:30 pm to 2:00pm! Call us to register!

Ski safe and be kind.

Bill and I arrived this morning while it was still snowing. The snow tapered off around 8 AM. In total we received about 4″ which groomed up nicely. Reset skate and classic on Main, Mitten, Lollipop, Boomerang and Wiggle. Conditions will be nice today. Enjoy it while we got it.

A snowy morning with the forecast indicating some clearing by afternoon. 3-5 inches of fresh snow fallen overnight and into the morning. The 5km and 3km loops will be groomed and track set first today as the storm lets up. We spent a long time raking those pesky willow branches and pine cones on the 5km loop yesterday. Don’t be shy if you feel like flicking or tossing those pieces off to the side of the trail. You help would be greatly appreciated and also improve your ski experience. Think of it as nordic cross training. We’ll had the snowcat out mid morning yesterday knocking the drifts down at the Farm and Armstrong. Both trails were good yesterday. That will be a bit later today with the first focus on the 3km and 5km. Please dress for the weather today Skiing will be a bit slow today with the fresh snow. Come share the Joy of skiing! Red wax is the call today with the higher humidity and sightly warmer temperatures. 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. We will have at least 8km of skiing groomed by midday today and we’ll update about the Farm later. 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. Go play in the sunshine and new snow, make a snow angel or snowperson off the trail, share the Joy and enjoy what is looking to be a beautiful day!
