Solitude (Resort)
|
"If you only knew..." These words proclaim the transformation Solitude Mountain Resort has taken over the past several years. What used to be a locals only day area has become a family friendly European-styled pedestrian village boasting spectacular scenery, cozy resort accommodations and an abundance of activities.

Far from the crowds at other resorts, 12 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon, is a whole different world; a world where the sense of calm and peacefulness can only be described as "solitude." It's a place of unrivaled beauty, a place where priorities slip back into place and you're free to reconnect with nature, with your family, friends, and with yourself.
Solitude's charming European-style pedestrian village is home to a wide range of accommodations, featuring luxurious 1-3 bedroom condos in unique, tasteful settings and the Bavarian style first-class hotel at the Inn at Solitude. Unwind after a day on the slopes in the large living areas while hot chocolate warms up in the gourmet kitchen. There is a condo size and configuration perfect for you and your family. The Inn is designed to pamper and relax, with amenities such as an on-site spa, ski in/out convenience and an attentive staff.
Enjoy family and fine dining, at Creekside Restaurant or St. Bernard's award winning country French cuisine. Adventurous diners can don snowshoes or cross-country skis for a ¾ mile trek to the Yurt where a chef will prepare a 5 course meal in front of your eyes. Back in the Village, the Stone Haus Pizzeria & Creamery offers hot meal options all day, while the Thirsty Squirrel serves up any adult beverage of your choosing.
Solitude averages 500" of the Greatest Snow on Earth®, which means conditions are always at their prime: no matter if it is powder or groomers you are after. Under this immense white blanket, you'll discover over 1,200 acres of wide-open bowls, gladed tree runs, steep chutes and perfectly groomed gentle cruising slopes that are never crowded and always ready to thrill skiers and boarders of all ages and skill levels.
In the heart of the village, our lodging guests will find Club Solitude, featuring large-screen movies in the media room, a game room, and an outdoor heated pool and hot tubs. Other activities include ice skating, Nordic skiing, and family-centered events such as story-telling and puppet shows.
No matter the season, consider staying in posh accommodations at The Inn when visiting the Solitude area.

New for the 2007/08 season:
• Solitude turns 50! Solitude Mountain Resort celebrates their Golden Anniversary! 50 years ago, the first skiers descended off the slopes of Solitude in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Now boasting 1,200 acres of uncrowded terrain - including Honeycomb Canyon - and a European style lodging village, Solitude has truly grown into a world class resort. This monumental season will be celebrated with historical podcasts and retro events.
• The Moonbeam Base has undergone a re-birth with the new Moonbeam Quad lift, a newly remodeled SnowSports Academy and the new Moonbeam Lodge. The Academy is a hallmark of efficiency that maintains Solitude's one-stop & drop philosophy, plus allows room for new services, such as babysitting. The remodel allows the Academy to continue the tradition of individualized attention in the safest environment possible. Solitude has taken particular care to improve the skiing experience for beginner and intermediate visitors. The new Moonbeam quad lift services the heart of the mountain. With this lift, skiers and riders can access numerous blue and green runs groomed daily with meticulous care. Expanded snowmaking allows for improved coverage in high-traffic areas, which improves the snow all season-long.
