• Ikon Pass gives unlimited access to 17 resorts and up to 7 days each at 41 ski resorts with no blackout dates throughout the ski season. You get unlimited access to Solitude. 
• Ikon Base Pass gives unlimited access to 14 resorts and up to 5 days each at 37 resorts with blackout dates for some resorts. This pass gives unlimited access to Solitude excluding blackout dates. It is cheaper than Ikon Pass so it is ideal for those who do not require access to all Ikon resorts.
• Ikon Session Pass has the option of 2, 3, or 4 total days of access at 42 resorts, including Solitude, with blackout dates. This is ideal for those who want some flexibility in resort access and will be skiing the selected days on the pass at Solitude (or other Ikon resorts).

Solitude Mountain Resort is located roughly 1.8 miles drive from the small town of Brighton, which is around 34 miles drive from Salt Lake City International Airport. This town is home to Brighton Resort, a laid-back local mountain, but it does not have many amenities, shopping, and dining options. To maximize your time on the slopes of Solitude, it is recommended to stay at one of Solitude’s walk-to-lift lodgings. Alternatively, many skiers also choose to stay in the suburb of Cottonwoods Heights for more amenities and facilities.

Located at the base of the mountain, Honeycomb Grill serves locally sourced, casual cuisine with stunning mountain views.

Opening hours (subject to change): 11 a.m.-9 p.m. (Thu-Sun), Closed (Mon-Wed)
