Solitude Reviews & Tips (20)
Really nice quiet resort with good variety of green-blue-black trails.
Tip: Don't go past the return chair in Honeycomb Canyon. Get on that chair and go back up. I cruised past it and wound up on a terribly long and flat cat track with ruts in it and uphill areas.

Plenty here for everybody; no wasted time in lift lines, friendly, helpful staff, great scenery, and very accessible. Plan on returning and staying at the Village next time.

Amazing areas to explore in Honeycomb Canyon. See if you can find the abandoned log cabin with the window you can ski through!

Incredible place for the family. The ski and board instructors are so great. Usually have a tough time talking my son into lessons, but was excited to go the next day with the same instructor.

When the blue trail solbright says ungroomed even thought it looks groomed ....believe the sign. When you get part way down its ungroomed and expert. Had to take skies off and walk back up about a half mile.. wish i would have believed the sign

Great place to ski, quiet, no lift lines & runs to yourself. Grooming was much better than anticipated. Some great blue mogul runs to practice your form. It is also quite easy to move around the resort. The errain is every bit as good as the rest of the PC or Canyon resorts. Add a few more high speed lifts and this could be my new favorite.

First time at solitude. I really enjoyed it. Everything ran smooth. Lots of great territory to ski. I will be back
Solitude review written Jan 13 2013 - 08:03 PM
Many great resort trail force you to walk > 30 feet after you get off the lift.
Then you make sharp turn then walk up to the lift. Solitude design most the trail and lift to let you go up and down lift chair smoothly and almost effortless.
You get to enjoy downhill skiing. Not staining cross country to get to some trail. Major run are wide and smooth with consistent slope. It is heavenly.
The SLC bus also bring you up to snow bird/Alta or Brighton so easy such that you do not need to deal with mountain driving.

Loved this mountain! Came with my son who snowboarded and skiied fore the first time. We both took Board lessons day 1 and by the end of the day both of us were boarding down intermediate slopes. We switched to skiis day 2 and 3 and had a fabulous time. The rental place was awesome about refitting to skiis with no issues at all. Stayed in Solitude Villiage - excellent service and good affordable food as well. No crowds this time of year.
I will definitely be back - usually go to Deer Valley and Park City, the quieter mountain and family atmosphere was definitely appealing here.

Advanced intermediates can find enough escape routes in Honeycomb Canyon to have fun surrounded by top notch scenery. Get there cause it is a lot cheaper than guides and helicoptors.
Solitude review written Feb 21 2012 - 08:28 PM
Smaller than Alta/Snowbird, but not as busy - so expert areas not skied out.
Plenty of powder still in Honeycomb - not difficult double blacks on left hand side.
Based on skiing Fri 3rd Feb

Solitude had decent snow for a poor season...ditto what Phil said. As an intermediate skier, the blues were very challenging and got icy as the day went on.
Solitude review written Jan 11 2012 - 06:46 PM
If you have been regularly riding blues elsewhere and want a challenge, there are some steeper blues off the Eagle lift. Also keep that in mind if you're not ready. If you're a solid green rider, you may not find as much here to hold your interest. However, you could probably spend years exploring the expert stuff here.

Pssst, don't tell but to your best friends ... let's keep it that way ...a small private "snowy paradise" ... perfectly groomed slopes of all steepness, very few people, compact ski resort of many slopes and choices

Pssst, don't tell anyone (only to your best friends) ... a luxury ski resort with wonderful slopes of all steepness ... and almost private, with very few skiers ... it makes you feel "rich" on soul to ski this white paradise.

Season pass holder here, 100+ days this year. Solitude is amazing, little competition for pow, great steeps, and long groomers. Honeycomb canyon is where to go if you are an expert, but solitude also has a gentle side. This is an easy place to ski with a group of multiple levels, you can skiing black or blues off most lifts or blues and greens. The friendliest staff I have even seen. They have a brown bag room with a microwave and big screen TV. Solitude is the hidden gem of SLC.

no lift lines....ever! Even on a powder day!

How to do a back flip

Great powder days after a storm. Nicer amenities and more intimate than Park City Resorts.
