Editorial Review for Solitude Ski Resort – by Seth Masia
In Short
By a few hundred yards, Solitude qualifies as the closest ski area to downtown Salt Lake City and the airport--fewer than 45 minutes, if the roads are dry. The resort shares deep, dry powder with its neighbors over the ridge at Alta and Snowbird, but cultivates a more relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It receives an average snowfall of 450 inches. With half of Solitude's runs being appropriate for intermediate-level skiers, it's a great place to learn.

Even the addition of the honeycomb canyon chair hasnt helped the resort's skier traffic flow. Put a gondola from the lower parking lot which ends at the top of the resort please. A short term, low cost idea would be to sell tickets at the base of the quad chair.
Pros: good snow, small crowds
Cons: bad lift system

I've skied on Solitudes slopes on several different occasions year to year and the snow and slopes are not what I would call a great experience. There are simply too many flat areas and the snow is poor comparitively to other Utah resorts.
