Spent three days Feb 11-13 (Snowbird, then Alta, then Solitude). No fresh, but the terrain and general vibe got better each day. Solitude was a nice surprise. The front side is like Summit Central on steroids. It has a high speed quad and steepish single black diamond groomers. Fun to watch traditional alpine skiers (male) do massive yard sale wipe-outs from top to bottom. Off to the east of the summit and powderhorn lifts, but still on the front side, are real in-bounds double-blacks that provide entertaining survival skiing opportunities. Then the whole "back side" of Honeycomb Canyon is just a beautiful, big-mountain environment with a very convenient "get-back" lift to the front; this later lift also has steeps underneath it. Maybe its just Sunday in Utah but Solitude was pretty deserted, especially compared to the madhouse of Snowbird.
