When the snow falls, Soldier Hollow turns into one of Utah’s premier Nordic skiing destinations – and a legacy of the 2002 Winter Olympics. With more than 30 kilometers of groomed trails that wind through open meadows and wooded hillsides, it’s a paradise for classic and skate skiers alike.
Soldier Hollow Nordic Center is home to competitive Nordic skiers and Olympic hopefuls. However, it’s also an open-to-the-public course for beginners and hobbyists, featuring over 20 miles of trails. Trail systems offer gentle slopes for beginners and Olympic-level routes for experts.

For skiers seeking more time on the snow, Soldier Hollow offers annual passes, ski treadmill technique and fitness training, the Olympic Biathlon Experience and youth development and competition teams. Summer at Soldier Hollow continues the fun with biathlons and rollerskiing.
