My brother convinced me to take a week off, and drive with him to Utah. He's big into film, and wants to go to Sundance. We'll be staying near Jeremy Ranch. I vaguely recall the NOP boys and Tom Ferrell talking about training there. Anyone familiar where they are talking about regarding Jeremy Ranch? Is it road running? Trails? Will it be passable with snow? Any info and help is greatly appreciated.

Yeah jeremy ranch road is what you're thinking of. It's 7.2 miles from the beginning of the dirt road to pavement in east canyon. it rolls pretty heavily down on the way out so coming back is tougher than you think. it's probably pretty messy right now since it's been warm, it's graded dirt in the summer and gets packed with perfectly runnable snow in the winter. i haven't run it in a week and a half and i honestly wouldn't try right now, it's probably either mud or ice. here's a strava activity out and back on the road from last time i ran it:

i believe you're right on the NOP thing, lots of local elites and such do long runs up there.
You won't be running in Park City this time of the year. Bring your skis. Want to run the trails all of the elites run? Come back in July when they don't have snow on them.
Thank you for the info. I'm really looking forward to coming to Utah. I've heard great things about it.
Don't listen to this guy, i've been running in park city frequently all winter to get out of the bad air in salt lake. park city has shit for snow.
If you want to get an endurance workout in, try skate skiing. There is a decent place right in town. Suggest you take a lesson if you haven't skate skied before. Not sure about the conditions in PC right now.
Yes, because skate skiing is such an easy sport to pick up in a single afternoon. Why do people here just not answer the &$7%ing question posed in titles threads?
This road is in great shape up until the county line (exactly 3 miles in). after county line is still runnable but it isn't plowed as much so there have been days where it is a slog after a good storm. been running it consistently for the past three weeks; it is packed snow. i have la sportiva winter screws in my shoes and no slipping at all but plenty of friends have been running in plain shoes (just have to be a bit more careful about the slick patches). do it, it is a beautiful run.
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
