Discover the pleasant family friendly environment.
Solitude Mountain Resort is situated at 8,000 feet in spectacular Big Cottonwood Canyon, far from the crowds at other resorts. The atmosphere is friendly and family-oriented and great for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. At Solitude, discover over 1,200 acres of wide-open bowls, steep chutes and perfectly groomed slopes ready to thrill any age group.
A welcoming environment is a goal for Solitude. The new “family-friendly” terrain park has features that are all snow-based (no steel structures) and crafted to offer a manageable size for all riders. Recently, Solitude has been on the cutting-edge by streamlining their ticketing system to an electronic system which enables online ticket purchase. These are some of the many ways that Solitude works to make the resort accessible and affordable.

The professional instructors place emphasis on fun, safety and technique and are ready to help their visitors enjoy themselves, progress and make the most of their time on the hill.
In the early 1900s, tenacious silver miners placed the name Solitude on the geographic area now dominated by Solitude Mountain Resort. The ski area opened in the fall of 1957 with two chairlifts providing access to most of the area now skied on the front of the mountain. The development over time was designed to keep the serene mountain ambiance that surrounds the resort. What used to be a local ski area has become a family friendly village boasting spectacular scenery and an abundance of activities.
