Solitude At Solitude | Opening Day Conditions Report As we have been reporting nearly everyday lately, things in Utah have been off to banger start. Backcountry skiing has been solid for a month now for those willing to work for their turns. Then there are people who aren’t as motivated to work for turns.

Desperate times call for desperate measures though and Snowbird is not open yet but Utah hosts several World Class resorts. So I headed up to Solitude Ski Resort for a day of fun in the sun with friends. […] Conditions Report Kyler Roush | November 8, 2013 1 Comment
