When you think of skiing in the Alps, Alpine skiing probably comes to mind. However, Nordic skiing is the original and oldest form of the sport that originated in Europe hundreds of years ago. This activity is a fantastic way to be outside, explore the majestic natural spaces, and get a great overall workout. And there’s no better place to enjoy cross-country skiing than at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center. Known as an Olympic venue that hosted 23 events during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, Soldier Hollow offers world-class Nordic skiing, including individual and group lessons and equipment rentals, along with snow tubing down the longest lanes in Utah, and an Olympic Biathlon course that is open to the public. Enjoy the morning here, appreciating the breathtaking outdoors while participating in all the activities you can based on your interests and skill level. And plan a return visit to mountain bike in the summer on the same trails you ski in the winter or play a round of golf on one of the two 18-hole courses.
