Was wondering if anyone had an idea how run-able Park City is during the springtime. Obviously they get a ton of snow but is it possible to get good training in by say, mid march? I know the slopes maintain snowbase until April, but I believe spots like Jeremy Ranch are a decent bit lower than PC, almost a thousand feet if I'm not mistaken. Are roads plowed/run-able? Thanks.
bonus questions- is the PC high track open to the public and do they plow it? Peace!
park city is very runnable in the springtime. there is a paved bike path that runs all the way from downtown PC to the parleys sumit area ~9 miles in length one way and in mid march alot of the snow down in PC around 6700 feet will be melted off which means the lower trails will be clear. a great place to get some dirt trails action is around the willow creek park and soccer complex i have done countless miles on just these two routes alone. another that may or may not be clear in quinns junction soccer complex where they have an array of dirt trails that get converted to nordic trails in the winter but if its a light snow year they get melted off pretty early. i have never ran on jeremy ranch but i imagine it is clear come spring as it is a large road. Utah uses a lot of salt on their roads so most roads in the winter or completely clear. I hope this helps!
thanks Utard. Another question if you're seeing this (or anyone). Is Park city runnable during January/ February or is it just too much snow?

If I answer this, are you going to ask if Park City is runnable in November/December?

haha nope. Just wondering about the spring semester, snarky pants XD
Also I don't even have to ask cause I bet its gorgeous during the fall
I was just kidding with you, but I wanted to respond to bump your thread because I do not know the answer (but wish I did)!
I skied in Park City the last two Marches and it was pretty damn snowy. Yes they clear off the roads and some paths, but I bet your running options would be limited. This website says they average almost 3 days of snowfall per week in March: https://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Park-City/history
Due to the snow in March, plus it's not that warm, I would wait until April. May is even better.
