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 has hampered its ability to attract large numbers of out-of-state skiers.

In response, Solitude has decided to focus its expansion efforts on resort-side amenities rather than adding terrain or improving lifts. They are currently working on a $100 million complex called"The Village" in order to lure more destination skiers. Solitude also has the benefit of offering 20 kilometers of groomed cross-country skiing.
