SOLITUDE WELCOMES NEW VP OF MOUNTAIN OPERATIONS

BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UTAH, Nov. 28, 2023 – Solitude Mountain Resort is pleased to announce that Scott Cherry has joined its leadership team as the VP of mountain operations. Cherry comes to Solitude from Mammoth Mountain, where he was the director of slope maintenance. As the VP of mountain operations at Solitude, Cherry will oversee ski patrol, grooming, snowmaking, lift operations, fleet maintenance, and base area operations.

In addition to his extensive mountain operations experience spread across 18 years in the industry, Cherry has been directly involved with key terrain park projects such as the U.S. Grand Prix Olympic-qualifier slopestyle courses for the 2014, 2018, and 2022 Winter Olympic Games and the SNOWBOARDER Magazine Superpark at Mt. Bachelor (2013), Mt. Hood Meadows (2014), and Mammoth Mountain (2016 and 2017).

“Scott comes to us with an inspiring breadth of experience, and we couldn’t be happier to have him leading our mountain operations team,” says Amber L. Broadaway, Solitude’s president and COO. “We were impressed with what he’s accomplished at Mammoth Mountain, and we know he will be instrumental in writing the next chapter of Solitude’s legacy.”

This season, Solitude was the first Utah ski area to open for the 23/24 season largely due to the diligence of the resort’s mountain operations team.

“The Wasatch plays host to some of the best skiing and riding in the world, and I am beyond thrilled to be here in Utah. Solitude drew me in with its location, abundant snowfall, and big-time terrain,” says Cherry. “I’ve had the opportunity to work under some of the best in the industry who encouraged me to always find a way to accomplish the impossible through teamwork and collaboration.”

This role was previously held by Nate Lee, who retired from the position this summer after 28 years with Solitude Mountain Resort.

SOLITUDE TO IMPLEMENT PARKING RESERVATION SYSTEM TO ADDRESS TRAFFIC CONGESTION

Parking reservations will be required only on weekends and holiday periods; parking is free for vehicles with four or more people.

BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UTAH, Nov. 2, 2023 – Solitude Mountain Resort today announced it will introduce a comprehensive paid parking reservation system for the upcoming 23/24 ski season in response to increasing demand for convenient mountain access and as part of its commitment to sustainability.

Starting December 15, the new system will allow guests to secure an advanced parking spot ahead of their visit on weekends and holiday periods. Parking reservations are not required Monday through Thursday. This approach ensures that reserved spaces are available until 11:00 a.m. — alleviating early morning parking anxiety, combating traffic and overcrowding, and enhancing the overall mountain experience on the resort’s most in-demand days.

“Parking reservations mean guests no longer need to arrive long before the lifts open, fewer cars in the canyon because nobody is being turned away when lots fill, and more even traffic flow throughout the day. It’s better for our guests and better for the canyon,” said Amber L. Broadaway, president & COO at Solitude Mountain Resort. “We’re grateful to the folks who provided constructive feedback and asked us to explore parking reservations. This will improve the experience for everyone.”

Key Elements of the New Parking System:

• Three Things to Know About Parking Reservations:
  1. Parking reservations are mandatory before 11:00 a.m. on weekends (Friday – Sunday) and holiday periods December 15, through April 14. The cost is $35 (free for cars with four or more people), paid in advance, for each vehicle.
  2. Between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on these days, parking will transition to a space available model, with a fee of $35 (free for cars with 4 or more people).
  3. All guests arriving after 1:00 p.m. park for free, no reservations required.
• Simplified Midweek Parking. There will be a simplified, space available paid parking system in place before 1:00 p.m. Monday – Thursday. The cost is $20 for vehicles with fewer than four passengers, paid on-site.
• Free Parking for Carpooling Vehicles. Cars with four or more people will park for free every day but will still need to make a parking reservation Friday – Sunday and on Holiday periods.
• Free Afternoon Parking. To support afternoon skiing and boarding, parking is always open and free after 1:00 p.m. — an hour earlier than in previous seasons.
• Free UTA Ski Bus and Carpool Access. Solitude and Ikon Pass holders receive free Ski Bus fare, and guests can use the Solitude Carpool App (iOS/Android) to match drivers with available seats to those looking for a ride.

“Solitude was the first Wasatch Front resort to tackle the issue of traffic congestion several years ago,” said Broadaway. “Numerous other resorts, municipalities, and agencies have followed suit, and we’re proud to work alongside them this season toward fuller vehicles, less stress, and a cleaner, safer canyon.”

Solitude estimates that since the 2019 introduction of paid parking, the average number of guests per car has increased to 2.5, and UTA Ski Bus ridership to the resort has increased significantly. The resort is committed to making the skiing and snowboarding experience better for everyone by encouraging guests to bring four or more people in their vehicle, use expanded UTA transit — which is free for Solitude and Ikon Pass holders — or reserve parking on busy days.

Solitude encourages guests to become familiar with the new parking system. Comprehensive details, pricing, and parking reservation procedures can be found at www.solitudemountain.com/discover-solitude/getting-here-parking.

SOLITUDE BIKE PARK SET TO OPEN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8
PHASE 1 INCLUDES FOUR NEW DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS

Big Cottonwood Canyon, UT September 5, 2023 – The first phase of trails in the new Solitude Bike Park will be unveiled this Friday, September 8. Four trails ranging from green circle (easier) to black diamond (most difficult) will be open Friday-Sunday through October 8, conditions permitting.

Designed by Gravity Logic, six miles of new downhill trails will consist of two freeride trails, Mother Lode and Cobalt Cruise, and two technical trails, Mine Shaft and Holy Schist. All four of these new trails will be accessed via Moonbeam Express.

“With this initial phase of trails, we really wanted to provide an experience that accommodates riders of all ability levels,” says Solitude Bike Park Manager Tyler Sites, “The Gravity Logic team is known for their attention to detail and exceptional trail work. These four new trails represent the first step in a larger series of downhill mountain bike trails coming to Solitude.”

It should be noted that with limited weekends remaining in the season, Solitude’s lift operations staff will be focusing their efforts on the Eagle Express chairlift upgrade. Moonbeam Express will operate with one bike carrier for every five chairs. By next summer, the resort expects to double this capacity.

Due to construction delays caused by lingering snowpack from the 22/23 winter, some sections of these new trails are currently under construction. While trail crews work to complete the lower section of Cobalt Cruise (blue freeride trail) riders will take a detour via Serenity to return to Moonbeam Express. Technical trails Holy Schist and Mine Shaft will be accessed by temporary connection trails. Mine Shaft will return to Moonbeam Express via a temporary connector as well. Mountain bike rentals and lessons will be available through the end of the season. 23/24 Ikon Pass holders receive 25% off full-day bike tickets and $80 Solitude Bike Park Season Passes.

SOLITUDE ANNOUNCES UPDATES ON MAJOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

Big Cottonwood Canyon, UT, August 14, 2023 – mid a transformational summer, Solitude Mountain Resort is making headway on several extensive summer projects. These developments are part of $16 million in capital improvements coming to the resort.

Eagle Express has been completely removed making way for the installation of the new high-speed 6-person lift. The new chairlift will load and unload guests at similar locations, with slight changes being made to enhance guest flow. Concrete foundations for new lift towers are being poured; terminal installations are scheduled to begin in September. Eagle Express is projected to be operational by mid-December, 2023.

To improve skier access to Honeycomb Canyon this winter, three new Wyssen remote avalanche control systems (RACS) are being installed off of Fantasy Ridge. These towers will allow Solitude’s avalanche mitigation team to remote-detonate explosive charges in key areas of the mountain.

Gravity Logic and the Solitude Bike Park team have been making progress on a series of new downhill mountain bike trails off of Moonbeam Express. Several technical and freeride trails are on pace to be completed and open to ride before the end of the season. These new trails will vary in difficulty level to accommodate riders of all skill levels.

Construction efforts on these enhancements will continue to impact current mountain operations. Along with Honeycomb Canyon, existing mountain bike trails Queen Bess, Serenity, and Eagle Ridge are currently closed while these projects are underway.

“We know these trail closures can be frustrating in the short term, and we’re grateful for the community’s patience,” says Amber L. Broadaway, Solitude’s president and COO “With a new downhill mountain bike park, an upgraded chairlift, and three new remote avalanche control systems, we’re making tremendous strides this summer thanks to the hard work of the Solitude crew.”

Riders and hikers are advised to check Solitude’s Mountain Report daily for updated lift and trail status as conditions are expected to remain dynamic throughout the summer.

SOLITUDE AUCTIONING RETIRED EAGLE EXPRESS CHAIRS
PROCEEDS GOING TO NEW STAFF RELIEF FUND

Big Cottonwood Canyon, UT July 25, 2023 – Utah skiers will have an opportunity to claim a piece of Solitude Mountain Resort’s historic Eagle Express. On Tuesday, August 1, 75 chairs from the retired lift will be up for auction at https://bit.ly/EagleExpressAuction. Opening bids will start at $500, those interested will have until Monday, August 7, to place bids. The highest bidders will be able to pick up their chairs from Solitude on August 11.

All proceeds from the auction of the chairs will go towards the Solitude Fund, a new initiative created by the resort that staff will be able to access in times of unexpected hardship.

“Since announcing the retirement of Eagle Express last winter, there has been tremendous interest from Utah skiers and snowboarders looking to purchase a chair from the lift,” says Solitude President and COO, Amber L. Broadaway. “Eagle Express has been one of Solitude’s core lifts for more than 30 years and we can’t wait to see these chairs go out to their new homes”.

Built in 1989, Eagle Express was the first high-speed detachable chairlift installed in Utah providing access to signature terrain such as Sunshine Bowl, Serenity, and Challenger. Maintaining the chairlift has been challenging in recent years as parts become increasingly difficult to source. The chair is being replaced with a highspeed 6-person chairlift this summer. The new Doppelmayr chairlift is currently under construction and is expected to be operational by mid-December 2023.

SOLITUDE ANNOUNCES OVER $16 MILLION IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

March 29, 2023 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — Four transformative off-season projects are set to commence at Solitude Mountain Resort this summer. Eagle Express will be upgraded to a high-speed 6-person chairlift. Improvements to Solitude’s snowmaking infrastructure will yield increased efficiency and reliability. Three Wyssen towers will be installed in Honeycomb Canyon to assist with avalanche mitigation efforts on Fantasy Ridge. Gravity Logic will be completing new downhill mountain bike trails accessed from Moonbeam Express.

Installed in 1989, Eagle Express was the first high-speed detachable chairlift installed in Utah. In addition to shortened wait times on busy days, the increased uphill capacity of the new 6-person chairlift is expected to decrease congestion elsewhere on the mountain. Construction on the Doppelmayr lift will begin this spring, and the lift is expected to be operational by mid-December 2023.

Upgraded equipment will allow the resort to continue making snow on open runs that previously needed to remain closed during snowmaking operations. These improvements to Solitude’s snowmaking infrastructure will also create a more efficient and sustainable operation.

“Although we’re coming off a winter with exceptional snowfall, these improvements to our snowmaking system will be crucial as we work to open terrain early in the season and create a base that serves as our snowpack’s foundation when that natural snow comes,” says Amber L. Broadaway, Solitude’s President and COO.

Three new Wyssen tower remote avalanche control systems (RACS) will be installed across Fantasy Ridge. These installations will allow Solitude’s avalanche mitigation team to detonate explosives remotely in terrain that currently requires personnel to manually deploy hand charges. With these detonations, crews will be able to move through the avalanche terrain quicker, allowing terrain to be opened sooner.

This summer, Gravity Logic will complete new downhill mountain bike trails that will be accessed via Moonbeam Express. Flagging began last season with construction set to begin this spring, conditions permitting. These flow trails will vary in difficulty levels with jump lines on the advanced trails. The new trails are expected to open mid-summer, 2023. Winter Park Resort’s Trestle bike park and Deer Valley Resort’s bike park were also designed by Gravity Logic.

Additional off-season improvements include modest renovations to The Inn at Solitude and signature restaurants Honeycomb Grill and St. Bernard’s. Road access to Roundhouse, Solitude’s on-mountain wedding venue, will also be improved. In addition, music and PA systems will be installed at our three main lodges.

Finally, potential changes to Solitude’s paid parking policy, including a reservation system, are being considered. Any adjustments will be communicated this summer.

SOLITUDE CELEBRATES MIKAELA SHIFFRIN’S WORLD CUP RECORD WITH FREE NASTAR COURSE

March 11, 2023 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — Recreational racing at Solitude Mountain Resort’s NASTAR course will be free for the remainder of the season in commemoration of Mikaela Shiffrin’s 87th career World Cup win. Located on Main Street run, the giant slalom course can be accessed from Apex Express and Moonbeam Express. Skiers and snowboarders can track and compare scores against other NASTAR participants around the country in their age group.

“Mikaela’s not just a champion, she’s also a role model and inspiration to us all and we’ve been fortunate to have her as an Ikon Pass ambassador since its inception,” said Jared Smith, President & CEO of Alterra Mountain Company. “Making these courses available to more of our guests is the perfect way for us to share our amazement for what she’s accomplished by exposing even more people, young and old, to a truly unique on-mountain activity.”

“Some of my earliest memories on skis were at the top of a NASTAR course with my parents and my brother. For me, and for many of my teammates, this early exposure to ski racing helped ignite a lifelong passion for this sport,” said Mikaela Shiffrin, alpine skier champion and all-time women’s World Cup record holder. “Partnering with Alterra Mountain Company to eliminate the barrier to these courses for all ski fans is an incredible way to help give back and expose even more people to the thrill of competing on the slopes.”

With today’s World Cup victory, Mikaela Shiffrin is now the winningest alpine skier in history. Other Alterra Mountain Company resorts offering free NASTAR courses include Deer Valley Resort, Palisades Tahoe, and Sugarbush Resort.

SOLITUDE HAS MOST SNOW BY MID-JANUARY IN 18 YEARS

January 20, 2023 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — After 148 inches of snowfall in January, Solitude Mountain Resort has received 376 inches of snow this season. This is the earliest the resort has crossed the 350-inch threshold since the winter of 2004/05. The region has seen consistent snowfall for much of the winter, particularly during the last three weeks. Between December 26th and January 17th, Solitude saw an average of 8.8 inches of new snow per day.

As of today, 100% of Solitude’s skiable terrain is open. This includes sought after experts-only areas such as Fantasy Ridge, Highway to Heaven, and Evergreen Peak. With optimal coverage across the mountain, Solitude’s snowpack is at 192% of average with a base depth of 114 inches.

Solitude has taken full advantage of this historic snowfall, maximizing its open terrain and lifts to allow guests to better spread out and explore the mountain during lively holiday periods. For updated snowfall measurements, mountain conditions, and operations updates all season long, check the Solitude Mountain Report. New for this season, Solitude has launched two live webcams giving guests a real-time perspective of the both the base and summit.

In an effort to better serve non-skiing guests during this remarkable winter, snowshoes and Nordic ski rentals are now available in Solitude Village.

SOLITUDE MOUNTAIN RESORT OUTLINES 2023 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

January 6, 2023 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — Under the guidance of Vice President of Recreational Services, Dan Healy and Snowsports Training Manager, Maggie Loring, Solitude Mountain Resort has renewed plans to provide a more inclusive mountain environment. The upcoming year will include partnerships with the Share Winter Foundation, SheJumps, Natives Outdoors, and Ski Utah’s Discover Winter, all working in collaboration to break down barriers to accessing the mountains.

New this season, Solitude’s Women on Wednesdays clinics have been expanded to include instruction for female skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels. Registration is now open with two different six-week sessions to choose from.

The YMCA’s Youth Instructional Ski & Snowboarding program (formerly Y I Ski) provides children ages 8 through 17 across the Salt Lake Valley with the opportunity to experience winter sports. With generous support from the Share Winter Foundation, funded by Alterra Mountain Company, families can enroll their children in discounted multi-week sessions that include 2-hour lessons, lift tickets, and rental equipment.

“The multi-week aspect of this program has been crucial to its success,” says Dan Healy, Solitude’s VP of recreational services. “A single day on the mountain simply isn’t enough to build the foundation these kids need. Spreading the instruction across four Sundays creates a much more effective learning environment.”

Teens that are close to aging out of the program are encouraged to enroll in the PSIA-AASI Junior Instructor Program. Hosted at Solitude Mountain Resort, this nationally recognized certificate program provides a unique experience allowing young skiers to shadow instructors while developing their own teaching skills.

“Our staff looks forward to hosting the Junior Instructor Program each season. They have a blast showing the next generation of instructors how much fun a career on the mountain can be,” says Snowsports Training Manager, Maggie Loring “These teens may not have seen this industry as a career path for multiple reasons. This program shows them that they do in fact belong here, and we see many of them return to the mountain as employees in the future.” This season, six Junior Instructor Program participants were hired as instructors at Solitude.

Dan Healy and Maggie Loring both hold key positions within the Professional Ski Instructors of America and the American Association of Snowboard Instructors (PSIA-AASI). VP of Recreational Services, Dan Healy serves as the National Chair of the PSIA-AASI Snowsports Advisory Committee where he promotes best practices in snowsports management, steers educational programming, and disseminates ideas to snowsports leaders throughout all 8 regions of PSIA-AASI.

Maggie Loring is a PSIA-I Clinic Leader and Examiner educating and evaluating instructors at resorts across the intermountain region. She is also a member of PSIA’s Alpine Advisory Committee, Women’s Advisory Group, and the Nancy Oakes Hall Scholarship Committee.

SOLITUDE MOUNTAIN RESORT ANNOUNCES SECOND ANNUAL HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE
Virtual fundraiser will benefit Utah Food Bank
Donate online to win limited-edition Solitude ugly Christmas sweater

November 10, 2021 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — For the second year in a row, Solitude Mountain Resort has partnered with Utah Food Bank to benefit community members and families in need this holiday season. From November 10 through December 10, 2021, anyone can donate to Utah Food Bank via a link at solitudemountain.com to be entered to win one of ten (10) Solitude ugly Christmas sweaters.

Jeff Carroll, Solitude’s director of sales and marketing, says, “We recognize the need for food assistance has grown considerably during these uncertain times. We hope our efforts will encourage our community to contribute what they can and help us make a small dent in food insecurity in Utah.”

Ginette Bott, president and CEO of Utah Food Bank, adds, “Our work in the community depends on many partners, and demand for our services is highest this time of year. The struggles the pandemic has created have only magnified just how many of our fellow Utahns need our help. We commend Solitude for their creativity in inspiring their guests to donate.”

The virtual food drive option allows individuals to simply donate funds — or they can “shop” among Utah Food Bank’s most-needed food items without the hassle of having to visit a store, all while taking advantage of Utah Food Bank’s purchasing power. Because Utah Food Bank can stretch each $1 donated into $8.71 worth of goods and services, every donation truly has an impact on the 410,000 Utahns facing hunger.

For each contribution of $10, Solitude will enter the donor’s name into a drawing for a limited-edition Solitude ugly Christmas sweater. A donation of $20 = 2 entries, a donation of $30 = 3 entries, and so on. All donations go directly to Utah Food Bank, and there is no limit to the dollar amount or number of donations each person can make. To be eligible for the drawing, donations must be received by 11:59 p.m. (Mountain time) on December 10, 2021. Winners will be contacted no later than December 16, 2021, to claim their sweater.

SOLITUDE POSTPONES OPENING DATE FOR THE 21/22 SEASON

November 16, 2021 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — Solitude Mountain Resort will postpone its opening day for the 21/22 ski season. Conditions permitting, the resort is optimistically targeting a new opening date of Tuesday, November 23, 2021. Recent warm temperatures have presented a challenge to Solitude’s previously announced opening date of Friday, November 19, 2021, limiting the potential for snowmaking.

Solitude President & COO Amber Broadaway says: “With colder temps on the way, we will be making snow at every available window. If conditions justify opening earlier than November 23, we will be ready to go.”

SOLITUDE WILL POSTPONE OPENING DATE FOR THE 20/21 SEASON

November 9, 2020 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — Solitude will postpone its opening day for the 20/21 ski season. It had planned to open on Friday, November 20, 2020, but a lack of early season snowfall has presented a challenge as the resort works to prepare enough terrain for skiers and snowboarders to spread out and enjoy.

Solitude President & COO Kim Mayhew says: “Considering current conditions, as well as our goal of providing ample space for guests to distance from one another, we believe that a later opening date will create a higher-quality outdoor experience for our guests. We look forward to welcoming them to our slopes as soon as conditions permit.”

A new opening date will be announced in the near future, taking into account weather forecasts and snowmaking capabilities, and in conversation with the other Cottonwood Canyons resorts.

SOLITUDE ADDS DOZENS OF IMPROVEMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS AHEAD OF 20/21 SEASON WELCOMING SKI COMMUNITY BACK TO THE THRILL OF THE OUTDOORS
Scheduled opening date is November 20

September 14, 2020 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — Solitude Mountain Resort is pleased to announce a broad array of initiatives intended to provide reassurance and healthful choices to its guests during the 20/21 ski season. Scheduled to open November 20, conditions and circumstances permitting, Solitude welcomes its mountain community back to enjoy outdoor recreation in the relaxed family atmosphere of Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Solitude President & COO Kim Mayhew says, “Throughout this longer-than-usual offseason, as Solitude skiers, snowboarders, and staff have looked forward to the exhilaration of winter, we have been working hard to understand and adopt best practices to prioritize the health and well-being of our employees, guests, and community.”

Among other upgrades, the Solitude website and added signage on site will always provide the latest information. Below is a summary of changes and improvements that guests can expect when visiting Solitude this winter.

As guests arrive, they will be able to pay for parking via touchless technology, including applying their carpool discount. Ikon Pass and Solitude season pass holders, as well as Solitude Ticket Pak holders, will be able to proceed directly to the chairlifts without stopping at a ticket office, while signage and staff will work to maintain appropriate physical distancing at all lift lines. Indoor facilities, public restrooms, guest shuttles, and staff vans will all be cleaned more frequently, including disinfection with electrostatic sprayers. Touchless faucets, soap dispensers, and paper towel dispensers in all public restrooms, plus hand sanitizer stations in strategic locations, will allow for effective personal sanitization with fewer points of physical touch. Additional, temporary public restroom facilities will be available at the Moonbeam base area to reduce queueing.

Guests will be asked to wear a mask properly fitted over the nose and mouth when indoors and when within 6 feet of other people, and Solitude will provide masks for those who forgot to bring their own. Employee uniforms will include protective gear appropriate to each team member’s duties, environment, and interactions with others.

For guests who wish to indulge in Solitude’s outstanding, chef-driven culinary landscape, outdoor seating will be expanded, including heaters in some areas. A greater variety of grab-and-go options will be available, and all dining and bar locations will limit capacity to allow for social distancing. The Solitude Village Store, in its new location on the main level of The Inn at Solitude, will offer take-and-bake family meals as a convenient option for lodging guests. New signage, dedicated entry and exit doors, reconfigured seating, and additional staff will encourage one-way flow and get guests back on the slopes with maximum efficiency.

The iconic and much-loved dinner experience of The Yurt at Solitude will take place in Solitude Village at St. Bernard’s Restaurant this year, allowing for greater distancing between tables, while still following the traditional pre-dinner snowshoe hike through snowy woods.

Inside rental shops, guests can expect a streamlined experience as Solitude staff use text messages to manage the flow of guests within the shop. Reservations will be required for rentals and lessons, and rental equipment will be thoroughly sanitized after each use, including disinfection with electrostatic sprayers.

For guests who will plan to stay on site, enhanced cleaning protocols have been developed for all lodging units, including disinfection with electrostatic sprayers following each checkout. Lodging in Solitude Village includes access to Club Solitude’s heated outdoor pool, hot tubs, game room, and exercise facility, now operating with metered capacity, time-designated reservations, and additional sanitization protocols to help prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. Solitude Mountain Spa will continue to welcome guests seeking relaxation with massage services only, face coverings required, and appointments spaced to allow for enhanced room and equipment disinfection.

SOLITUDE WILL OPEN FOR THE 2019/20 SEASON ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29

November 18, 2019 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — Solitude will postpone its opening day for the 2019/20 ski season to Friday, November 29, 2019. It had originally planned to open on Saturday, November 23, 2019, but recent warm temperatures in the region and a lack of early season snowfall have challenged the resort’s efforts to prepare its slopes for skiers and snowboarders.

Solitude President & COO Kim Mayhew says: “Based on the current forecast, we expect that our new opening date will provide the best mountain experience for our guests, and we look forward to welcoming them to our snowy slopes later this month.”

SOLITUDE TO ADDRESS AIR QUALITY, CONGESTION AND PARKING IN BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON
NEW GUEST LOCKERS | CARPOOL INCENTIVE | RIDE-SHARING APP | STAFF TRANSPORTATION
Ikon Pass holders ride the UTA Ski Bus for free

September 17, 2019 (BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UT) — In response to traffic and parking congestion in Big Cottonwood Canyon, as well worsening air quality in Salt Lake County, Solitude Mountain Resort is making a commitment to encourage carpooling and the use of public transportation when traveling to the resort. For the 2019/20 winter season, Solitude will be introducing a variety of initiatives to address these concerns while creating a more positive experience for guests.

“We are using every tool at our disposal to encourage our staff and guests to use public transportation and to develop carpooling habits,” says Solitude’s President & COO Kim Mayhew. “We are committed to reducing congestion in Big Cottonwood Canyon in order to preserve our canyon’s delicate environment.”

“Last winter was one for the record books, but there was some frustration around the number of cars on the road. We can leverage technology to cultivate a habit of carpooling and make public transportation more feasible. Our goal is to maximize the space we have and get everyone to the slopes safely and without delay.”

Parking Solutions
New for the 2019/20 season, paid parking will be implemented at Solitude’s parking lots with fees as low as $5 per day for multi-occupancy vehicles. Tiered pricing and preferential parking will be offered to encourage carpooling. To magnify Solitude’s actions in improving Utah’s air quality, a portion of parking proceeds will be donated to Breathe Utah, a clean air advocacy organization. Full details on the new parking system are available at https://www.solitudemountain.com/transportation.

Solitude will be utilizing a piece of their private property on the west end of the Moonbeam parking lot to accommodate approximately 200 more vehicles. These additional spaces will help ease parking congestion on Highway 190 near the resort as well as reduce erosion that can be harmful to the Salt Lake City watershed. The spaces will be served by a shuttle to move guests to and from Moonbeam Lodge.

Carpooling & Public Transportation Options
For guests who want to find a carpool partner, Solitude is investing in a ride-sharing app to allow skiers and snowboarders to share available space in personal vehicles by offering or joining a ride to Solitude. The app will include incentives for teaming up to reduce pollution and congestion. More details will be announced later this fall.

Solitude will lease four 15-passenger shuttle vans from the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) to transport staff seven days a week, taking up to 60 cars out of the canyon each day.

To make it easier for guests to use the UTA Ski Bus, Solitude has added over 100 new guest lockers, located on the ground levels of both Moonbeam Lodge and the Snowsports building. Solitude has long provided free UTA Ski Bus access to its season pass holders. That benefit has now been extended to all Ikon Pass holders for the entire season.

Solitude continues its long and productive relationship with UTA, advocating for expanded service and increased ridership in Big Cottonwood Canyon. In the past three years, UTA has increased Ski Bus frequency and made trips faster by consolidating and shortening routes. UTA Ski Bus now offers seamless transfers from TRAX, and park-and-ride convenience and capacity continue to expand.

Solitude plans to open on Saturday, November 23, 2019 – conditions permitting – and will close on April 19, 2020. Ikon Passes are on sale now at www.ikonpass.com.
