SolVista Basin ski area, Colorado - Skiing and Snowboarding

SolVista Basin ski area, Colorado

Save time and money and avoid Solvista for skiing. Has potential as the mountain is friendly to new skiers but the amenities leave a lot to be desired. Lack of parking and or shuttles and no room to relax as the lodge reminds me of a cross-country ski shelter. If you can pack a BBQ in the car that would be your best bet for warm food and a place to sit down. says Tony Rankin.

this is a great resort for teaching the young ones how to ride. the staff did an excellent job in teaching my two kids. says diggity.

    Sol Vista is a tiny mountain compared to the other ski mountains nearby. It does have it's charm though. It's a good place to learn before you hit the bigger resorts nearby. says Daniel.

The mind-boggling 18 feet of seasonal snowfall is an unbelievably
good depth. The 1,000 feet of elevation difference is not too bad; SolVista Basin makes excellent use of it. All of the 6 great ski lifts are cool to hitch a ride with. This ski area has 406 acres of skiable territory, and it's all blanketed by wonderful snow. SolVista Basin has a good mixture of runs and an ok sum of great ski lifts. This is a family friendly ski area with lots of green and blue ski runs. All in all there are 37 trails to select from; it's a nice assortment. The skiing and the snowboarding in this

region is a lot of fun the whole season. The mountaintops of Colorado blanketed in fluffy snow are something you can’t pass up in case you're addicted to snowboarding or skiing. SolVista Basin has a much lower than average proportion of tough ski runs and a much higher than average ratio of blue and green runs. SolVista Basin gets blanketed by snowfall close to the local average each winter. This is a small ski resort with a rather cozy elevation difference when you compare it to other ski mountains in the region. Because you're on this web page you are in all probability into skiing or snowboarding, either way, there are a lot of nice places for that close at hand. There are a number of splendid accommodations close to the bottom of the hill, but if you don’t have reservations, you could end up snoozing in your car. This ski area has a great collection of ski runs; it won’t leave anyone bored. A bit of exercise and just being on the slopes for a while will have you coming back.
