Soldier Hollow

Soldier Hollow is a Nordic winter sports center in Wasatch County featuring cross-country skiing and biathlon courses that wind through mountain terrain. The facility has mechanized lift systems and illuminated slopes for evening use.

The area was home to Native Americans before Army surveyors arrived in the 1850s and gave it its current name. The valley later evolved into a training and competition site for winter sports athletes.

The center brings together people from the region and beyond who practice Nordic sports in a shared winter setting. The slopes and training grounds create a focal point for this community during cold months, where both casual skiers and serious athletes gather.

The site is open from December through March with equipment rentals and passes available at the facility or online. Visitors should plan for cold conditions and come prepared with warm clothing and winter gear.

The site hosted biathlon and cross-country skiing events during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Its infrastructure was specifically built to international Olympic standards and continues to serve competitive athletes today.
