The Solitude Nordic Center offers one of the best cross country ski trail systems in Utah.  Located at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon, it recieves plenty of snow and is groomed daily. To get there take the Cottonwood Canyons exit in I-215, and follow the signs to Solitude and head up the Canyon.  You'll pass the 2 main entrances to Solitude and almost get to Brighton before you'll see the Nordic Center on the right side of the road.

When Silver lake freezes over, there are several flat loops on top of it to get your technique down on.  When you are feeling up to it, there are a number of other wonderful trails through the forest to enjoy.

Solitude offers rentals and ski Lessons.
