Cross Country Skiing at Sundance Nordic Center

The Sundance Nordic Center is located right next to the Sundance Ski Resort, in American Fork Canyon. There are 15 k (9.3 miles) of groomed ski trails, and 10 k (6 miles) of snowshoe trails. I had all day to explore, so my goal was to try and ski all 9.3 miles of trail! I was pretty close, coming in at 7 miles for the day, only because one of the trails was closed due to recent avalanches. Sundance Nordic offers trails for all skill levels, and all trails wind through pristine backcountry. Sundance Nordic sits at 7,000 ft, and the surrounding views can’t be beat. Grab your skis (or rent!) and a trail map, and let’s go!

Ready to pick up my ski pass at the Nordic Center yurt!

To get started skiing, you can go right or left – both routes will go uphill to begin with.

Time to strip layers, and work hard up a steeper hill.

I was testing out some different skis, that have a small skin on the bottom. I felt like these were extra slippery for me, making the uphill harder.

Weeee! The downhill is so much fun!

I absolutely loved the freshly groomed tracks. Sundance Nordic Center keeps them perfect!

Winding my way through the trees. As you continue to ski down Lena’s Loop, you’ll have a view of Stewart Falls as well! This was my favorite ski trail of the day – just make sure you ski it in a counterclockwise direction so you get more downhill. If you’re looking for a workout and want uphill, then ski this clockwise.

What a beautiful day to be outside. On a Wednesday morning I only saw two other skiers. So nice!

After skiing on the Rossignol R-SKIN’s for about an hour, I went back and traded them out for my own skis, Alpina’s. What can I say, I like my own gear 🙂


I’m glad I tried the new skis out, but they were a bit too long and slippery for me.

I did take a mini lesson in Skate Skiing, and I picked it up much faster than when I tried back in 2010-2011. The skis are very different, the uphill is way harder for me with my asthma, but I did like the gliding action and flow on the downhill.

Huge thank you to Sundance Nordic Center for setting me up with skis and a quick lesson!
