Lifts

The Solitude Express Quad is the most polite of all the lifts. It's not the warmest or the fastest, but the seats are low and they slow down enough to make getting on easy, especially for kids. 

Like South Peak, Solitude is a good area to get away from the crowds of Sunburst Six though Solitude's lines can also build up. 

The Solitude Lodge offers a small grab and go stand for drinks and snacks. If you have more time, you can sit down for a meal at 43 North restaurant. Downstairs (of course) are restrooms though there is an elevator if you're not a fan of ski boots and stairs.

The lift line follows Boomerang which becomes Exhibition after you cross Lower Mountain Road.

From the top, you can take a left and head down Heaven's Gate back down to the Solitude base area or follow Express Lane to Route 103 and a number of trails that lead to the Main Face and Clock Tower areas. A right turn brings you to gentle beginner trails Roundhouse Run and Coleman Brook. Roundhouse Run will drop you at the Jackson Gore intersection (aka Malfunction Junction). A 180 from the lift brings you down Exhibition, a fun advanced trail which is sometimes, but not always groomed.
