Ice Skating

Solitude provides skate rentals at the village rental shop, and of course a there will be a fire rink-side to warm chilled hands. The rink is open all winter starting December 20th from 3:00pm - 8pm.
Backcountry Guided Tours
Back Tracks offers backcountry guided tours for groups of 1 to 10 skiers or snowboarders. The guides, which are members of Solitude Mountain Resort's Professional Ski Patrol, accompany the group into areas just outside of the resort boundaries for an all-day excursion. You will have multiple options once outside of the ropes and the guides make this a day not soon to be forgotten. With well over 500" of annual snowfall and so much terrain, chances of finding a few untracked stashes are strong!
Tours include a lift ticket and each guest is provided an avalanche transceiver, backpack, free heel adapters (or snowshoes), climbing skins, and snacks. Also included in the day - a phenomenal lunch from Creekside Restaurant, and believe us, you'll be ready for a big lunch after the first half of your day.
Guests should at least be strong intermediate skiers or snowboarders and in good physical condition. Guides will assess ability by way of a ski check in order to ensure guests' enjoyment of the tour. Variable skiing conditions may include deep powder, wind drifts, variable crusts, and slick surfaces on any given tour. In backcountry terrain, unmarked obstacles do exist; we do take every precaution to avoid these. Tours are affected by avalanche hazard and weather conditions.
