Solitude Ski Resort
Solitude in winter means mountains of powder and
mild weather - a winter paradise! This is what has
earned Solitude its name and has drawn families from
across the country for generations. The striking and
unique beauty of Solitude inspires the imagination
and presents endless opportunities for winter fun.
Winter in Solitude brings over 500 inches of "The
Greatest Snow on Earth" falling on 1,200 acres of
terrain, renowned for its unique geological features,
unspoiled beauty and back-country thrills. Drive 14
miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon and you'll find
yourself in a whole new world. It is a place of unrivaled
beauty, where rugged rock formations melt into
blankets of pristine powder.
The Mountain Village at Solitude
The long awaited village is now complete, and the
unmistakable ambiance of the European Alps beckons
you to lose yourself down quaint pathways. The Village
at Solitude is a retreat that pampers you with every
modern convenience. It is a village large enough to
accommodate your individual needs, yet small enough
to cater to them. Its cozy shops, fine dining and
comfortable sitting areas echo an era of a simpler time,
while state-of-the-art telecommunications systems
accommodate the latest in technologies. In fact, it is
one of the country's first mountain villages to integrate
a high-speed wireless network, allowing you to check
email or surf the web anywhere in The Village.
From the grand mountain lodge experience of the Inn
at Solitude to the intimate atmosphere of their fully
furnished condo hideaways, the village feels like a
home away from home and has something for
everyone. Each offers their own unique amenities and
services, while still capturing the true spirit of Solitude
and giving you all the room your family needs to make
vacation dreams a reality. To make a reservation in
the Village please call 1-800-748-4754
