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.

Good morning Park City!
Saturday, Jan 17th update for ya:
Quinn's is lingering around 21 degrees this morning. The Nordic snow ribbon is still slowly thinning and shrinking each day, but it's still hanging in there! The crew drag groomed what we could, which is now RV Express down to the inner valley (no longer to Silver Quinn, too thin), and Fairway Hills, Hat Trick, Fast Pitch around the Quinn's area. Sadly, Hat Trick between Fairway hills and Sunny Slope is probably on it's last day for skiers, that downhill turn coming from Sunny Slopes before crossing Fairway Hills is very very close to melting out and was just a mess of gravel and ice this morning. Best to stick with Fast Pitch along the horse corrals to access RV Express or Quinns.
Empire Pass is reportedly quite windy this morning, and even some wind down in Bonanza Flat area, subject to change of course, but prepare for some wind chill if you're heading up there today. The Bonanza Nordic system is getting a cat groom refresh, and the Bonanza Winter Shuttle is running today.
Bonanza single track will be in pretty good shape over all, potential for the wind to have drifted a few sections maybe, but there isn't much loose snow to chuck around these days, so it should hold up pretty well. The safest bet up there, is to just drop down into the lower single track loops which is mostly in the trees and more protected.
Round Valley single track will likely be a mix of icy sections, smooth sections and chunky bumps in places. The snow ribbon still seems to holding, but is changing daily and slowly melting away like everything else in RV.
Whatever you get into today, we hope you have a great day!

Good morning Park City!
A real quick Jan 15th update for ya:
Quinns is warming up quickly this morning, sitting at 33 degrees at 9:15, with full sun and blue skies above at the moment. The crew drag groomed what they could this morning, mainly RV Express to Silver Quinn, Hat Trick/Fairway Hills, and Fast Pitch from Fairway Hills to Sunny Slopes TH. The Valder-road drainage bumps are almost completely melted out, so I'd advise skiers to avoid Valder-road altogether.
Bonzana Nordic is getting a fresh groom this morning, and a reminder that the Bonanza Winter Shuttles run Friday-Sunday.

Round Valley single track was looking a bit bumpier after yesterday afternoon but still in decent shape, just a friendly reminder to get out earlier rather than later!
Bonanza single track should be in pretty good shape heading into the weekend, again, friendly reminder to all uses, as the day warms and conditions change, please be aware and mindful of your impact out there, please and thank you!
Whatever you decide to get into today, we hope you have a great day!

Like clock work... it's Wednesday again!
Jan 14th grooming update:
Quinn's has been sitting in the mid to high 20's this morning, reading about 30 degrees here at 9:30am. The sun is out and it's mostly blue sky with some clouds clouding about. It is expected to get into the upper 40's, maybe even hit 50 degrees today.
We pulled the grooming drags around Round Valley again, most of what we have been grooming is holding up pretty well, but its definitely thinning out there. Fast Pitch coming out of the Quinns trailhead turns into mostly gravel and ice by the snow fence, so I'd advise all skiers to start with Hat Trick to get over to Round Valley Express. Seventy 101 and Matts Flat loop are still holding for now, but the Valderroad piece taking you to/from the Downward Dog trail has a water bar that's almost fully melted out to pure gravel, so i wouldn't suggest any skiers go that direction. Round Valley Express is holding, but the the water bars are starting to show some loose gravel, but the rest of RV Express is looking pretty good still!
The RV single track will likely be a mix of nice and smooth and lumpy and bumpy, but if you ride it early before these warm afternoons turn the snow, it should be pretty decent riding out there still!
Bonanza Flat Nordic was last groomed Monday, and work on the single track up there has continued. While conditions may be, slightly used... they should still be pretty good up there today if you choose to make your way up there.
As the day progresses and temps and snow conditions change, please be mindful of your impact albeit wheels or shoes. Looks like we're back to toasty afternoons and chilly night freezes, please plan accordingly!
Whatever you get into today, we hope you have a great day!
