I have skiied at Solitude for 6 years now and I have experienced some of the best skiing you will find in Utah. However, Solitude is known for beginners, groomers, and for how small it is. I have two words for everyone who thinks that. Under-rated. Solitude has some of the best terrain in the wasatch mountains.
Their most famous area within the resort is called, "Honeycomb Canyon." This has some of the deepest snow in all of Utah. You can either hike up on the east side on Honeycomb or traverse accross the cat-track on the west face. Both of those are always amazing skiing.
One of their greatest lifts is called, "Powderhorn." This takes you up to the top of this huge face of the mountain. Their is 6 named, black and double-black runs. This provides you with plenty of cliffs, moguls, and steep, big mountain skiing. The powder piles up fast too. This is fantasitic skiing!
The last thing I am going to talk about is the lift, "Summit." There is so much terrain and so many different runs on this lift. Not only does this take you to "Honeycomb Canyon", you can hike on the backside of the mountain and ski this amazing terrain called, "Highway to Heaven." You will always find untouched powder here and it is an experience that should be shared with everyone. Also, you can hike up to "Corner Peak", which is an amazing hike and an amazing run. The view is great and the skiing is phenomanal. Another run that is extremely fun is called, "Evergreen", you have to traverse accross the east face of the "summit" area and there is plenty of cliffs, long, narrow shoots, and just plain big, mountain skiing.
To sum it all up, Solitude is a great place to ski and when your day is done, you will always remember the epic, ski day at Solitude.
