First Time Visitor Guide | Solitude Mountain Resort

Welcome to Solitude Mountain Resort

First time visiting Solitude Mountain Resort? No worries. While we pride ourselves on being a resort that’s easy to navigate, a few pointers will help make the most of your visit.

Day Guests

As you enter Big Cottonwood Canyon, travel 12 miles to Solitude Mountain Resort, Moonbeam entry. This is our main parking lot for day guests and provides access to the Moonbeam base area, including lift tickets, rentals, food, and rental equipment in Moonbeam Lodge. Lockers, restrooms, and Ski & Ride School can be found in the Ski & Ride School building.

The Village entry is an additional ½ mile and provides access to Solitude Village, The Inn at Solitude, Solitude Mountain Spa, condominiums, shopping, and various dining options.

Winter Parking

Moonbeam base area
The Moonbeam base area is our most convenient parking lot, and the go-to spot for day guests seeking mountain access. Paid parking is in effect during peak season, and our parking reservation and fee structure incentivizes carpooling. As you enter the Moonbeam parking lot, attendants are present to provide assistance. Park your vehicle, then proceed to the lift with a paid parking reservation or pay at either a payment kiosk or via the payment website - which can be accessed by scanning the QR code on the kiosks or on your discount code slip.

If paying via a kiosk, remember to make note of your license plate number before leaving your vehicle. Kiosks are placed throughout the parking lot and can accept a discount code.

Solitude Village
Solitude Village provides parking for guests staying at the Inn at Solitude or booking condos through Solitude Resort Lodging. Solitude Village also provides limited parking for dining, retail, and Solitude Mountain Spa. The parking lot is staffed during daytime hours, and an attendant will direct you to an available space. Day guests who are seeking access to the mountain for skiing and riding should park at the Moonbeam base area. If you are seeking to visit Solitude Village before 1:00 p.m. or when the lot is full, park at the Moonbeam base area and ride the shuttle between base areas (shuttles run continuously between Moonbeam and Solitude Village from 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.).
Travel Between Base Areas

With Stone Haus Pizzeria, Honeycomb Grill, St. Bernard’s, and The Thirsty Squirrel, a visit to Solitude Village is a must. During the winter season, a shuttle operates between the two base areas. The Moonbeam shuttle stop is located directly outside the ticket office. The Solitude Village shuttle stop is located to the right of The Inn at Solitude, and near the base of Apex Express.

If you’re on skis or a snowboard, you can also load Link lift (to your left when looking uphill from Moonbeam Lodge). From there you can easily glide past Last Change Lodge, past Apex Express, over the bridge, and into Solitude Village.

To return, jump on the shuttle, enjoy a short push/skate/walk until you merge into Easy Street, or load Apex Express.
Lift Tickets

Pro tip: For the best deal on lift tickets, purchase in advance. And when you arrive, use the self-service pick-up boxes (to the left of the Moonbeam ticket windows) for quick and easy access to the lifts.
