SolVista Basin   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.
