Solitude is
just like it sounds… secluded, serene, and typically blanketed in
soft plentiful powder snow. Solitude’s 1,200 acres, l
ocated in Big
Cottonwood Canyon just before Brighton, is great for families given
the well planned pedestrian skiers village – with a European
architectural flair. You can rent a convenient condo and walk to the
slopes from Club Solitude, or stay in the Inn at Solitude – many
rooms offer a deck and view of the slopes.
You will find express
quads serving most of the 65 runs at Solitude, something for everyone. What
you won’t find are lift lines or crowded lodges at Moonbeam or Mining Camp.
There are plenty of groomers and wide boulevard trails like Main Street,
Alta Bird and Sunshine Bowl, plus patrol gated chutes and glades in
Honeycomb Canyon which is 400 acres of backcountry to explore off the
10,035-foot summit.
Kids love that the
can track their runs and vertical online at day’s end with Solitude’s ticket
scanner system. They will also love the outdoor heated pool. Parents will
like Solitude’s exceptional snowsports school, and the Bavarian style base
village with just enough restaurants and shops. For a western style saloon
dinner of steak and ribs, grab a shuttle to the Silver Fork restaurant down
the road. Your family is sure to find solace (and snow) at Solitude.
