Solitude


Merriam-Webster defi nes solitude as “the quality or state of being alone or remote from society.” Call it foresight by the silver miners who aptly named the area where Solitude Mountain Resort sits today. They were unknowingly personifying this Wasatch Mountain Range powder paradise tucked in the middle of Big Cottonwood Canyon. With 1,200 acres of skiable terrain, Solitude provides tremendous amusement to all level of skiers (including Nordic skiers who can enjoy the Solitude Nordic Center). Knock out some warm-up laps on Eagle Express and then rally some around-the-worlds from Powderhorn to Summit to Honeycomb and back. Make sure you wander the European-inspired mountain village and drop into the Thirsty Squirrel to share stories with the other lucky ones who just fi nished experiencing solitude. — G. GLOSBAND

Resort Editorial and Photos Snowbasin


“Go north, young man.” While not the exact quote popularized by Horace Greeley, it’s a fair statement if you haven’t checked out Snowbasin. The resort sits a short 35-mile bump north of Salt Lake City and off ers 3,300 acres of Utah’s fi nest skiing and some of the most impressive lodges on the planet. The 2002 Olympic speed events put Snowbasin on the map. It’s another Utah gem which off ers an incredible variety of terrain, stunning day-lodges and an infrastructure including two high-speed gondolas, two high-speed quads and a tram, but has yet to be burdened by lift lines. — G.
