Solitude season pass: straight answers
- Is the Solitude season pass worth it for 2026-27?
- The Solitude Season Pass (Adult) costs $1,449. At roughly $179 for a peak-window day ticket at Solitude, it pays for itself at about 9 days on the hill, and this mountain typically delivers 29 powder days a season. Ski fewer than 9 days and day tickets are cheaper; ski more and the pass wins. Note that Ikon Base ($1,019) also covers Solitude with unlimited access, so compare both.

- About 9. That is $1,449 divided by the ~$179 peak-window day ticket. The table on this page shows the cost per day at 3, 5, 8, 12, 20 and 30 days so you can find your own crossover.
- Solitude season pass vs Ikon Base: which is better?
- Ikon Base covers Solitude with unlimited access for $1,019 — less than the $1,449 local pass — and adds every other mountain on its roster. The local pass only makes sense if you specifically want to avoid the megapass or its blackout rules.
- How good is the skiing at Solitude?
- Across 36 recorded winters, 66% of five-day trips to Solitude would have included at least one morning after 6+ inches of new snow. It averages 29 powder days a season, with 14 in its leanest recorded year and 54 in its best. That is counted from the record, not forecast.
