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!!
Thanks for your support of the Jeremy Ranch Nordic Center!
White Pine
Friday Haiku:
The place we live in,
Olympic dreams are made here,
set your goals and go.
The Wasatch Citizens Series distance race scheduled this Saturday for the Farm Trail was moved to Soldier Hollow. Details are at utahnordic.org
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!
Spruces
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!

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.

Ha en flott dag,

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.
