In mid-December, I stayed a few days in Heber, so I could head out from there to several ski areas to cross-country ski. After a few stormy days with lots of new snow, I decided to cross-country ski in the Uintas. With some help and recommendations I received from this awesome forum, I headed out on a Monday morning. The temperature had dropped to below zero the previous night and was a bit frigid when I started. I decided to ski the North Fork trail because it seemed to have the most interesting change of landscape to me. There were some rolling hills and a few short climbs, but nothing too serious. The trail was already broken but it was still an awesome morning out. I saw no one else and enjoyed a great day in fresh powder.
lots of fresh powder
trail leading between snow-covered trees
Shadow and light
trees before crossing North Fork of Provo River
frost details on the frozen Boulder Creek

It was a fun day out and could definitely do the trail again
