Get the Best Turns of your Life!!
Back Tracks offers backcountry guided tours for groups of 1 to 10 skiers or snowboarders. Our guides, which are members of Solitude Mountain Resort´s Professional Ski Patrol, accompany the group into areas just outside of the resort boundaries for an all-day excursion. We have multiple options once we get outside of the ropes and we'll make this a day not soon to be forgotten. With well over 500" of annual snowfall and so much terrain, chances of finding a few untracked stashes are strong!
Tours include a 10-ride lift ticket and each guest is provided an avalanche transceiver, backpack, free heel adapters (or snowshoes), climbing skins, and snacks. Also included in the day - a phenomenal lunch from Creekside Restaurant, and believe us, you'll be ready for a big lunch after the first half of your day.
Guests should at least be strong intermediate skiers or snowboarders and in good physical condition. Guides will assess ability by way of a ski check in order to ensure guests´ enjoyment of the tour. Variable skiing conditions may include deep powder, wind drifts, variable crusts, and slick surfaces on any given tour. In backcountry terrain, unmarked obstacles do exist, we do take every precaution to avoid these. Tours are affected by avalanche hazard and weather conditions.

Backcountry Avalanche Awareness Tour February 14, 2004 - Enjoy a day with Back Tracks, Solitude's backcountry tour service, and gain some valuable avalanche related skills. Two of Solitude's guides (Professional Patrollers) will lead a group of skiers and riders into the pristine Wasatch Backcountry just outside of Solitude's boundary. During the tour discussions will revolve around safe travel and route finding, avalanche mechanics and rescue techniques. Tour includes lift tickets, gear rental if needed (transceiver, skins, alpine touring adaptors), and lunch. A great way to obtain some hands-on skills and ride some great Wasatch terrain.
