Pine Touring (615-5858) offers 20 km. of track and skate skiing,

and an adjacent dairy farm. For those who want to get off the flats,
half-day snowshoe (Wednesday and Sunday) and ski (Tuesday and Friday)
tours in the Uinta Mountains are available. If you venture out on
your own, this is a good stop for advice and maps of the local mountain
bike trails that are perfect for snowshoeing (many are accessible
from downtown Park City).
