Winter Trails Overview
80KM OF GROOMED WINTER TRAIL
While Park City has long been known as an alpine skiing destination, Summit County’s Nordic Trail System has blossomed to nearly 80 kilometers of superbly groomed trail. As fat-tire bikes, snowshoeing and winter trail running grow in popularity, the winter single-track trails are expanding likewise.

Hi there, I’m Rick (and team) with your winter trail update
Field Manager

Hello Park City! Another day served sunny-side up! Unfortunately, the system we were counting on to deliver the goods to Round Valley last weekend came in very warm, raining on our parade. Bonanza faired a bit better, but a week of sunshine and high temps has melted the snow like, well, a snowflake in the sun.
Zach and Roy boi took a lazy Sunday ride, track-packing what we received, but conditions still remain elusive for those XC kicks and glides under Wasatch peaks.
The thing about trails is, whether snow or dirt, they endure! It is only a matter of choosing the correct mode of conveyance. Round Valley is in the process of drying out. With forecast warm temperatures, expect good conditions mid-to-late weekend for being out on the trails. Until then, be mindful of changing conditions, as we are in the freeze-thaw cycle. Trails generally get pretty mucky by 1pm. If you find yourself with dirt-platform heels, might be time to turn back. Currently, XC skiing is not recommended at Bonanza as coverage is very sparse and a proper pack & groom has not been completed.
The Bonanza Winter Shuttle will begin operations this coming Friday (the 19th) whether we are able to groom or not. If there's one thing second best to xc skiing, that's spending a day on the mountain taking in the view and sunshine, so despair not!
Tomorrow night @ 630-830pm at the intersection of Cammy's & Seventy 101 is this Winter's inaugural Round Valley Moonshine Social. Hotdogs, meteor shower, and s'mores. Oh la la. Could there be s'more in life? No, I think not.

Good morning from Park City! It is a cool, calm morning here at Quinn’s Junction trailhead. It’s 21 degrees with the occasional breeze.
Not much new to report on. Still not enough coverage in Round Valley to do anything meaningful without potentially causing damaging.
The crew will be making their way up to Bonanza Flats this morning to continue working. Conditions are thin and bushy. The crew is just hoping to get things packed down. We’re not sure how much corduroy we’ll be able to lay down.
Just keep doing your snow dances and thinking happy thoughts.
Little update: The crew just got back from Bonanza Flats. They were able to lay some spicy cords down for nordic enjoyment. The coverage is thin and the groom is extremely variable in spots so tread lightly. Majority of the single track is packed but still very soft and not yet groomed.
