Basin Trails Report: spent the week clearing a scattered amount of downed trees across the system. All trails are open, and the last of the snow is still lingering atop Pinecone.
-National Trails Day is tomorrow for all your local trail organizations. A great day to give back to the areas you recreate in.

Basin Trails Report: closures remain in effect today on Pinecone and Mid Mountain between Spiro and Armstrong as resort construction continues. These areas will reopen tomorrow.

Our crew wrapped up a full cutback on Gold Finger this week, and the 24-7 rebench project is nearly complete before work shifts over to Crazy Eights.

It was a windy week across the system and we’ve cleared several blowdowns from commuter pathways. If you come across any downed trees this weekend, help us out by submitting a report through the Contact Us form on our website.

Twisted Fork Race Series takes place tomorrow with a 68k, 30k, and 15k utilizing trails throughout Glenwild, Preserve, and Jeremy Ranch systems, along East Canyon Road, and through the Avenues area. Expect to see runners on course from morning into early afternoon.

There’s also some weather moving in this weekend, so please recreate responsibly and be mindful of trail conditions.

Turns out the splash pad wanted one more week off before summer starts. 😅💦
Due to unexpected maintenance, The Fieldhouse Splash Pad will not open this weekend as originally planned. Our team is working to get everything ready, and we’ll share an updated opening date as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!
