Solitude Mountain Resort

Quiet Big Cottonwood slopes and Honeycomb Canyon.

Solitude lives up to its name most weekdays, with 1,200 acres, 500 inches of snow and steep off-piste in Honeycomb Canyon. A small European-style village has slopeside condos, a Nordic center and a yurt you snowshoe to for dinner. It is unlimited on the full Ikon Pass and the Ikon Base Pass.
