White Pine

It is another rosy-cheeked Winter morning. Enjoy that steamy mug and a good breakfast before you head out with your boot covers, best mittens, warm beanie and buff. -5 degrees F on the trail at 7am. We might make it up close to 20F degrees by afternoon under a bright blue sky. 22km of cold firm classic track and lightly resurfaced corduroy this morning. You’ll glide best with green or blue wax and iron-in cold powder today. Grip will be green or even that rarely used tin of Polar (!) wax. Skate and classic on the 5k, 3k, Dog Loop and the Farm. We’ll be resurfacing the 3km skate and Armstrong this morning. Everything is in great shape overnight so we’re going to let it ride in the cold temps . The dog loop is open and running happily through the field (cover up those paws again today). The Farm is open and groomed. The Farm is a fee area for skiing. No walking, dogs, running, cycling or trespassing on the trails. Park in the new Meadows Drive trailhead lot or better yet, ski the entire loop from the Nordic Center. Ski with caution on the Farm.

Classic skiing will be very good today and skate will be squeaky slow to start, and quite good as the day goes on. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always a good idea. Skin skis are an exceptional no-fuss classic option if green hard wax isn’t your vibe. Bring your friends, family and neighbors along to play and if you need to take a mid-day “physical and/or mental therapy” break we’ve got a trail for you. Drop off your skis when you’re finished for an overnight spa treatment. Please purchase AND display your trail pass to access our trails. Ski with spirited Joy, share the trail, glide smoothly into the curves and take a few laps on our string of beautiful trails! Thank you for being part of our amazing community and supporting long-winded trail reports. Grab that beanie, your buff, boot covers, your good gloves and head outside to enjoy the day!

If you enjoy what we’re providing, be sure to tell your local city officials how great it is to have such an incredible long-term community partnership between PC and White Pine Touring. We’ve been making trails on the golf course and beyond for 47 years. We’d like that to continue and your support helps.

Mountain Dell

Good frigid morning Utah Nordic enthusiasts. It is going to be a green wax kind of day at Mountain Dell today. Temperature is currently sitting at 0F at 7:00 am this morning and went as low as -2F overnight. Bundle up! Last night we groomed Main, Mitten, Lollipop, Boomerang and Park By-Pass Road with a new skate deck. The existing classic from previous shift looked good in most places and there was no way with no moisture in the snow that we were going to get better results with an attempted reset. The classic was left as is.  Despite the cold temperatures, it should be a beautiful day to come get your slide on at the Mountain Dell. Enjoy!

The Mountain Dell track will be CLOSED TO ALL SKIERS starting at 6 P.M. on Friday, January 24, to allow for race course prep. We will be hosting the Wasatch Citizens Series 10K Skate race Saturday morning, January 25. Join in on this fun race! The course will re-open for general skiing starting around noon on Saturday. Thank you.

Today Wally Chambers and I “bridged the gap” in a few spots in order to keep the track continuous where we had lost some snow. With cold weather, those spots should hold up well. Otherwise, the skate lane was groomed today and looks good to great. The Classic track is what it is: degraded in some stretches on the lower loop but holding up well and offering some great skiing on north-south running stretches. Overall, Fairview is skiing well given the dry spell we are in.

It is a rosy-cheeked Winter morning. Have a mindful Martin Luther King Day.

Enjoy that second steamy mug before you head out with your boot covers, best mittens, warm beanie and buff. we were at 0 degrees F at 7am. We might make it up to 12 degrees by afternoon under a bright blue sky. Todd and Kurt groomed late last night to get the very best surface this morning. 22km of cold firm classic track and corduroy this morning was the result. You’ll glide best with green or blue wax and iron-in cold powder today. Grip will be green or a thin layer of blue wax. Fresh skate and classic on the 5k, 3k, Dog Loop and the Farm. More zen garden corduroy with a 100 percent chance of great skiing. The dog loop is open and running excitedly through the field (cover up those paws today).

The Farm is open and groomed. The Farm is a fee area for skiing. No walking, dogs, running, cycling or trespassing on the trails. Park in the new Meadows Drive trailhead lot or better yet, ski the entire loop from the Nordic Center. Our new snowcat has been prowling the trails. Ski with caution on the Farm. Classic skiing will be so very good today and skate will be slow to start, and quite good as the day goes on. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always helpful. Skin skis are an exceptional no-fuss classic option if green hard wax isn’t your game.

Rhys and I groomed Mountain Dell tonight at 5pm and got done around 7:30pm. Main, Mitten, Boomerang, Lollie, and Parkway were all groomed for skate and Classic. The track is in good shape. It is thin on the stem of Lollie pop, the part that splits off from the main to the Lollie top, so be careful.
Tomorrow should be cold, but the track should be nice.
Enjoy, Jerry

SR 65 (aka East Canyon Hwy) groomed this afternoon/evening for skate and classic to the top. Might be a little slow in the cold of Monday morning, but otherwise should be stellar.

A cold wintery morning for certain! Enjoy that second steamy mug before you head out.

Fluffy, soft and freshly groomed trails is the forecast for the day. We groomed late last night to get the very best surface this morning. 22km of classic track and corduroy this morning was the result. Very cold overnight, you’ll glide best with blue wax today. Fresh skate and classic on the 5k, 3k, Dog Loop and the Farm. Conditions can be described as zen garden corduroy with a 100 percent chance of great skiing. The dog loop is open and running briskly through the field. The Farm is open and groomed. Plan on and bundling up if you’re out early today. The Farm is a fee area for skiing. No walking, dogs, running, cycling or trespassing on the trails. Park in the new Meadows Drive trailhead lot or better yet, ski the entire loop from the Nordic Center. Our new snowcat has been prowling the trails. Keep an eye out for it. Ski with caution on the Farm. Conditions remain thin in places and a high speed mistake will have consequences.

Classic skiing will be so very good today and skate will be slow to start, quite good and getting better as the day goes on. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always helpful. Skin skis are an exceptional no-fuss classic option if blue hard wax isn’t your game.

Some fresh snow overnight into this morning. Packed and groomed all of the Spruces Upper and Lower Loops as well as Jordan Pines. Unfortunately one of the sleds is down and we cannot set the classic track right now. A little chilly here, but the sun is out and its a beautiful day in the canyon. Sushi Scale: Alaska Roll
