Solitude Mountain Resort opened for the 2008-09 season today under bluebird skies and not a bit of wind. While most dream of a knee to waist deep opener, I think the bluebird day is a great way to open.

I shared the 5 tips for Solitude from my post earlier this week with Nick Como (pictured below) who works in Marketing up there and he replied back with 5 tips of his own. Hey, we go to the source for our Utah Vacation Homes guests!

Here they are:

• Parking close to Eagle Express, instead of Moonbeam get more vertical on the first run.
• Hit the cafeteria at 11:30 to beat the lunch lines
• Buying tickets down in the valley,[or from Utah Vacation Homes] saves you about $8 a person
• Want to ski some of Solitude’s powder? Sign up for a Backtracks tour with the ski patrol.
• Looking to ski pow on your own? Hit Honeycomb Canyon.

There you go, straight from the source!

Thanks Nick.
