Solitude

Skiing: Solitude

If you are in Utah to do some skiing Solitude is a can't miss hit! Skiing here you will feel as the name suggests, having wide-open stashes to yourself. Often when pulling into the parking lot you can park as close to the lift's as you want.
If you want to get fresh tracks head into honeycomb canyon. Access honeycomb from the gates at the top of the summit chair. Keep traversing to skiers right along the ridge. Traverse till you find untracked powder and dive in.

If you want hair raising steeps head up the powderhorn lift. After you get off the lift head to skiers right till you find the gates for middle slope, milk run and others. After you go through the gate the terrain lulls you to sleep and then the bottom drops out. Ski length wide tracks lead through the trees and rocks.

The headwall forest usually holds powder stashes for days after a storm, as this area gets chewed traverse out into the evergreen area. I can about guarantee you will find good snow here even a week after a storm.

Solitude has been upgrading their base facilities the last couple years and now have on-site accommodations.

They have a very flexible lift pass system. You can buy points that are deducted by lift ride. By using your points efficiently you can ride the powder for cheap!
