FIND SOLITUDE ABOVE THE COMMOTION OF EVERYDAY LIFE If you only knew... skisolitude.com so Easy to escape to, SOLITUDE: SKI AT IT SKI IN IT yet so hard toAND leave. When you’re still making fresh tracks after noon, when your kids feel like they own the mountain, and when everything—from lunch lines to lift lines—is easy, then you’ve discovered Solitude. Solitude Mountain Resort is nestled near the top of Utah’s Big Cottonwood Canyon, a quick 40 minutes from the Salt Lake International Airport. Yet as easy as it is to get here, you’ll feel like you’re a million miles away. Stress disappears. Pressure is nonexistent. And fun is first on the agenda. With 1200 acres of terrain and 64 runs that range from beginner to expert, there’s something to please everyone. Cruise down velvety smooth groomers. Hang with your kids in our family-friendly terrain park. And discover the incredible off-piste, gorgeous glades and wide open bowls in Honeycomb Canyon. We average more than 500” a year of unbelievably dry snow—the perfect recipe for silky-soft groomers, untracked stashes, and consistent conditions. And no matter where you go, you’ll rarely see a lift line. And the fun doesn’t stop when the snow melts. At Solitude, there’s no such thing as “off season.” Summer, spring and fall are packed with things to do and gorgeous scenery to enjoy. Solitude is nationally ranked as a top U.S. resort by both Ski and Skiing magazines for the 07/08 season. Make your evenings as memorable as your days When the day is done, you’re just steps away from one of the many lodging options in our European-style pedestrian village. The perfect blend of modern comfort and old-world charm, the village offers everything from true slope-side convenience, to luxurious lodging and spacious family-oriented condos. The Inn at Solitude: The charm of a traditional Austrian-style lodge with first class amenities like fine dining, spa and pool. For reservations, call 801-517-7717 or go to skisolitude.com/inn. Creekside Condos: Luxurious units with a rooftop hot tub, conveniently located at the base of the mountain on the creek. Powderhorn Lodge: Under the village clock tower, with easy access to Club Solitude’s pool, exercise room and game room. Eagle Springs Lodges: Tuscan-style architecture with one, two and three-bedroom condos featuring majestic views. The Crossings: Elegant town homes with the extra space for family gatherings. Luxury Homes: Secluded, large, private redidences adjacent to the village and mountain. Club Solitude. Kick off your boots and take a plunge in our heated outdoor pool, relax in the hot tub, go ice skating, or kick back in our theater for a nightly movie. At Club Solitude, you can also challenge your kids to a round of Xbox or an old fashioned board game in our familyfriendly game room. And don’t miss the daily organized activities like snowshoeing, stargazing, or mountain biking and hiking in summer. Own a piece of Solitude. Give yourself an excuse to come back again and again. Real estate opportunities at Solitude are available, but limited. For information, visit our real estate office in the village, or call 801-517-7708.

Don your cross country skis or snowshoes and head through the trees for an unforgettable evening of fun and fine dining. We have plenty of restaurants right in the village. Enjoy Creekside Restaurant’s new Tuscan-style menu, or St. Bernard’s* elegant Country French fine dining. The Thirsty Squirrel* is the perfect place for some après ski, and the Stone Haus Pizzeria and Creamery is great for coffee, breakfast, a quick sandwich, pizza, or locally-made gourmet ice cream. At the base of the Moonbeam lift, stop for lunch or breakfast in the Moonbeam Lodge, serving on-the-go breakfasts and an expanded menu of healthy sandwiches and other distinctive skier fare. At the end of the day, drop into the Argenta Pub for some après ski. And up on the mountain, grab a burger and some sun at the midmountain Sunshine Grill; or stop at the Last Chance Mining Camp for our fresh Mexican and classic grill menus. *A private club for members. THE TRACKS MAY FADE, BUT THE MEMORIES WILL LAST FOREVER This season, you’ll get to share in fifty years worth of memories. What began in 1957 with a dream and two chair lifts, has evolved into a nationally ranked, full-service resort. Be sure to join in the fun this year as we host special events and celebrations to commemorate our 50th Anniversary. Make tracks on the groomed or in the steep and deep. Some call it corduroy, but we prefer velvet. Our meticulously groomed runs delight young and old alike, thanks to our fleet of modern grooming equipment. But powder hounds, don’t fret. We’ve saved all of Honeycomb Canyon for you. With 400 acres of the most accessible free-riding in the country, it’s the perfect place to find freshies, even days after the last big storm. We even have Back-Tracks guided backcountry tours, for reservations, call 801-536-5705. Snowsports Adademy. You’re never too old, or to young to learn, right?

UP HERE THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS “OFF-SEASON” Even if winter’s your first love, we invite you to come back and discover the lure of summer. When the snow melts away, the mountain becomes a lush carpet of green meadows and gorgeous wildflowers—the perfect backdrop for hiking, biking or just getting away from it all. At the base of the mountain, kids are always drawn to our magnificent pond where they can wile away the hours throwing rocks or fishing for rainbow trout. Lift served hiking, biking and disc golf Nothing lifts your spirits like a quick ride up the mountain, followed by a thrilling descent on a bike or mountain scooter. We have a variety of wellgroomed trails (yes even in summer!) that range from gentle to downright gnarly. Or, pack a lunch and your bag of discs and spend the afternoon on our 18-hole disc course that winds through towering aspens and pines. But be prepared to share the course with our resident deer and moose. Weddings, events and conferences With towering mountains and stunning scenery, Solitude is a natural haven for weddings, retreats and special events.
