“Find Your Solitude” is the tagline for Solitude Mountain Resort and could not be more fitting for this peaceful resort in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah.

During our first winter season in Utah, we heard that skiing on Christmas Day is typically pretty great! Often times it is snowing or has just snowed that week so the conditions on the mountain are good. We were told that the mornings are pretty bare since most people are celebrating with family and only a few more skiers arrive …
Evermore is a new theme park designed to be an immersive experience. It’s located just off I15 in Pleasant Grove, UT. That is about 35 miles from Salt Lake City and less than a mile from our house!
