Solitude is located near the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon, just one mile down the road from Brighton. The resort offers a great mix of terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. It has long been a favorite of Salt Lake City locals due to its abundance of powder and variety of terrain. However, its lack of lodging facilities in the canyon had hampered its ability to attract large numbers of out-of-state skiers.
In response, Solitude focused its expansion efforts on resort-side amenities rather than adding terrain or improving lifts. They created a complex called "The Village" in order to lure more destination skiers. The pedestrian-only village has finally been completed and it includes a grand mountain lodge (the Inn at Solitude) and more private, furnished condos. And now that the village is up and running, they're introducing two much-needed high-speed quads, which will get skiers and boarders to those untracked fields even faster.
Where: 28 miles from the Salt Lake City International Airport.

* Resort expense has been estimated by rating the cost of a daily lift ticket during the prime, non-holiday season ( $60 or less; $60-75; $75 or more ), this basis also offers some insight to approximate lodging and dining costs, but transportation (airfare, car rental/shuttle, etc.) has not been factored into account.
