Trail Report
Hi-Diddly-Ho PC!
What did that say 56 degrees?! Well let’s enjoy it.
Trail Report December 3rd, 2021
Salt of the earth? well we saw plenty of the dirt of the earth people out and about soaking up prime trail this week and new couldn’t be happier. Great weekend to be like those Hood River kooks and get a double sport day in, heck maybe a triple sport day in. The weather seems to be taking a turn next week and our finger are crossed we can break out the skis and get you animals out on some white stuff. Until then we are cranking away on wrapping up projects and prepping for the fluff to come.
So, what in the Abraham is happening on Matts Flats? Our efforts are threefold: This will be a connection of the Big Easy, the tri-bike friendly trail that will circumnavigate the valley of round. We also took this opportunity to break down the cupping of the trail allowing water to shed off and stop it carving the trail into a canoe. Plus, a couple drainages here and there and wham bam thank you ma’am! We will be out of your way shortly.
Other than winter prep and holding our breaths for snow that’s it. Let’s all not lose out marbles like Tootles and think happy thoughts for a white December and deep days in the future!
Now get on out there and enjoy the weekend! Your goal is to make it a quad sport day!!
Chase, Alec, and oh yes, Big Jon is back.

In Park city this weekend. No snow to ski. Are there any good trails not too muddy to bike? Is this Round valley. Looks great there.
Friday was a 2 sport Park City day! Skied @ Canyons & hiked Round Valley the hour before sunset!
you folks do amazing work. Looking at the high use of the trails in Round Valley, they are in excellent shape. Keep up the good works!!!!!
Good morning Park City! Today we're going to disregard the chaos associated with "Black Friday" and opt for a more meaningful and healthy, "Blue Friday" to better represent the blue skies you'll see while playing outside during this long holiday weekend. #OptOutside
We hope you all had a safe, happy and healthy Thanksgiving spent with family and friends. If you're looking to burn off some of that turkey and pumpkin pie, the weekend weather is looking cool but beUTAHful! It's a chilly 26-degrees at 9am and we're going to climb up to the low 50's each day.
As for trail conditions, our lower elevation singletrack will remain firm up into mid-day and should be good2go for rolling, running or walking the pups. As we warm up in the afternoon, some of the north-facing aspects may get a little greasy with the thaw, so pick your trails and trail time wisely. #thinkbeforeyousink All in all, conditions are not too shabby for late November... now that's something to be thankful for!
Speaking of being thankful, the entire Mountain Trails team would like to express our gratitude for the incredible support we receive from trail users like you. We couldn't do what we do without it.
Get jiggy with those snow dances and have yourselves a trailriffic holiday weekend! #trailreport
Here's a little video from a few years back to get you in the spirit...

Love it!
Your Mudday afternoon trail condition update... no typo here.
North-facing and protected/shaded areas of Round Valley are super-sloppy right now(12:30pm) and snud(snow and mud) prevails. The North Round Valley trails- Happy G & TM are now closed. We'll be closing the Happy access off of Old Ranch as well. Also closed are Bourbon St/Big Easy and the RV connector out of the Highland TH.
The south-facing aspects out of Quinn's and the Cove TH's are in a little better shape with more sun exposure but "variable" is your word for the day.
Please use good judgement out there and if it's sticking to heels, wheels or paws, you know what to do... or what NOT to do. #trailreport

Thanks for update you guys !
It's Sunday fun-day PC! It's a beautiful, but chilly start to the day with 21-degrees at 8:30am. Just a quick follow up on trail conditions based on what we saw yesterday afternoon.
The dirt is super-saturated right now after Friday nite's rain/snow event and with the freeze overnight, the nasty freeze/thaw cycle is back in play. As we start to thaw out around mid-day, it's going to get REALLY sloppy out there. Your best bet is to get out early while it's still frozen(before 11am) or just bag it entirely.
Expect similar conditions tomorrow(Mon) with the possibility of drying out a bit by mid-afternoon. We'll keep you posted... #trailreport
Have a great one out there!
