Solitude Mountain Resort

Solitude is one of the smaller ski resorts near Salt Lake City. It is a family-oriented mountain, with a wider range of beginner and intermediate slopes than other Utah ski resorts; 70% of its slopes are graded “beginner” or “intermediate,” the highest such ratio in the Salt Lake City area. Solitude was one of the first major US resorts to adopt an RFID lift ticket system, allowing lift lines to move more efficiently while reducing “lift poaching”.

Solitude Resort also operates a nordic center. The Solitude Nordic Center, nestled between the Solitude and Brighton ski areas, offers a variety of nordic sport opportunities, including snowshoeing, skate and classic cross-country skiing. The site’s 13 cross-country skiing trails cover twelve miles evenly divided between “easiest” and “moderately difficult”, including a long loop of two miles. Six snowshoe trails cover six miles. Instruction and training workshops are offered.
