Solitude Mountain Resort

Description:

• Sick of the big-resort crowding at some of the other Wasatch resorts? In Utah for a great snow weekend, but don't want to battle for space in the Snowbird tram? Solitude really lives up to its name with plenty of space and many fewer people. The reason? Some people get drawn to the others by terrain parks and flashy statistics. But Solitude really has much, much more than a day's worth of terrain.
  
  Solitude Mountain Resort along with nearby Brighton Ski Resort are lesser-known (and usually less crowded) destinations than the larger resorts in Park City and in Little Cottonwood Canyon, but offer great skiing and summer activities and good value. Solitude and Brighton, located in Big Cottonwood Canyon, are close to downtown and only about 40 minutes from the airport. Solitude offers a quaint pedestrian village with shops and restaurants, and new condos available for nightly or weekly rental. Solitude's recently-added high-speed quad lifts get the ski day started fast for guests staying in the local village. Summer at Solitude features a mountain Frisbee-golf course: ride up the chair lift, throw (and chase) your Frisbee down the rugged terrain through 18 wickets.
