Looks likely it will be included in the IKON pass too.

I have mixed emotions, this sale makes makes it feel inevitable Brighton or Alta and Snowbird fall in the next few years. But the ikon pass will look amazing for SLC locals if soli is unlimited.

“The sale adds Solitude to a network of 12 other resorts, including Steamboat and Winter Park in Colorado; Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, Mammoth Mountain, June Mountain and Big Bear Mountain Resort in California; Stratton in Vermont; Snowshoe in West Virginia; Tremblant in Quebec, Blue Mountain in Ontario; Deer Valley in Utah; and CMH Heli-Skiing & Summer Adventures in British Columbia.”

Yeah but it’s through a mutual partnership, not ownership. It’s in the same type of agreement as Jackson

Hopefully somebody buys alta and makes it snowboard friendly so die hard locals can stop bitching about the tram and move onto freaking out about that.

That said the only time I'm really in SLC is usually after the season, and I can just ski up Alta and get dirty looks from that guy that's been skiing there since 1492 and is way more core than any knuckledragger could ever be.

Deer Valley already had something worked out with Solitude from a few years ago so this comes as not much of a surprise.
