White Pine Touring White Pine Touring Nordic Center hosts cross-country skiing on the Park City Municipal Golf Course, including a learners’ area, a 2.5 km. loop, a 5 km. loop and a Farm Loop, which is a 12 km. track that winds through the McPolin Farm grounds north of the golf course.

PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Esteban Hoffmann cuts a lonely path through the snow during last weekend’s White Pine/TUNA relay at the White Pine Touring Nordic Center on the Park City Golf Course on Dec. 8. scribed the track layout in terms of its role as a golf course, when snow doesn’t cover its features. “On the front nine; Our 3K, that’s our flattest trail,” he said. “The back nine, which is directly behind the hotel, that section is more intermediate.” Dogs are allowed on the farm loop. Hours of operation run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information and grooming conditions go to whitepinetouring.com. White Pine will host Wasatch Citizens Series Race on Saturday (see the TUNA section below) and a Locals Appreciation Day this Sunday.

Mountain Trails Foundation The Mountain Trails Foundation grooms trails within Park City’s boundaries primarily in Round Valley, which is on the west side of Highway 248. The area is tracked with trails, 20 km. of powder that is groomed and ready for schussing. When asked which parts of the area are looking good, Charlie Sturgis, executive director of Mountain Trails, said “everything.” “We really are in great shape,” he said. “We’ve already used a snowcat more this year than we used it last year. And it all has to do with snow depth.” Mountain Trails has groomed a classic track into a loop around all of Round Valley connecting the following trails: Matt’s Flatt, Two Pines, Round Valley Express, Silver Quinn and Ability Way. The Land of Oz – a skiing-only trail that switchbacks around the North East side of PC Hill – also has a classic track groomed, and is connected to Round Valley loop by two trails at the loop’s south end. Sturgis said the Land of Oz has the trickiest terrain, while other trails departing from the Quinn’s Junction Area (eastern side of the loop), have some low-angle trails more suited to learners. With the exception of the Land of Oz, all of Round Valley is dog-friendly, and most are multiuse trails. “So expect bikes, dogs, snowshoes runners,” Sturgis said. “We all have to coexist. We do a lot of things to accommodate all indi- Basin Recreation Basin Recreation manages a group of trails outside of Park City limits in the Snyderville Basin. Its system includes a section of the Millennium Trail along the west side of S.R. 224, a trail out of the RTS trailhead on Olympic Parkway, the McLeod Creek path along the east side of 224, a small loop behind Ecker Hill Middle School, a stretch running on the eastern edge of Redstone in Kimball Junction and The Woods loop off of the east side of Parley’s Lane. All those areas are groomed, though the areas around Kimball Junction and along 224 are thinner than others, according to trail specialist Chris Mulder. With the exception of the Basin 5K, which leaves out of RTS trailhead, all those areas are dog friendly, and can be viewed on Mountain Trails’ website at mountaintrails. org. Mulder recommended the Ecker Hill loop for a quick, quiet getaway. “That’s actually a great track,” he said. “A lot of people don’t use it. It’s kind of unknown.” Trails are available for free 24 hours a day. Park City A small patch of cross-country track in City Park that Park City Municipal grooms opened Saturday, and will be lit for approximately two hours after sunset (currently at about 5 p.m.) each day for the next month and a half. The project was rolled out last year, but because it was such a paltry snow season the city is using this year as a second round for evaluating the pilot project. “We didn’t feel like we got a good feel for it last season,” said Logan Jones, the city’s trails and open spaces coordinator. “The lights are on; lots of people hang out with their dogs there. It’s just something to brighten up the dark months.” The circle is 1.25 km. around, and is open to all comers for free. Clubs and competitive skiing There are several clubs with competitive programs in the area. Soldier Hollow and Park City Ski and Snowboard Club both have competitive cross-country programs, as does TUNA. For skiers looking for a more recreational and social program, check with TUNA or the Nordic Betties (parkcitynordicbetties. com), a women’s ski club. SEMI-ANNUAL ORIENTAL RUG SALE UP TO 70% OFF!
