Did You Know that Brighton and Solitude Real Estate is Less Expensive than Alta and Snowbird Real Estate?

Buying ski vacation real estate in either Brighton Ski Resort or Solitude Ski Resort allows you access to all four of the greatest skiing experiences of your life: day commutes to Alta Ski Resort or Snowbird Ski resort, both located in Little Cottonwood Canyon and both considered one of the world’s premier and best known ski resorts where there are thousands of skiable acres with very high base elevations and vertical gains.

The downside to buying a condo, townhome, or home in Alta or Snowbird is the price of real estate which is 2x – 3x more expensive than Brighton or Solitude real estate. Moreover, Snowbird, although considered a more cosmopolitan attraction for couples and young adults, is not comparable to Brighton or Solitude for family fun or open skiing terrain.

The climates at Alta and Snowbird are similar to the climates of their neighbors in Brighton and Solitude wherein 500 inches of new snow are received each year. Alta offers alpine and Nordic skiing and prohibits snowboarding. Snowbird accommodates both skiers and snowboarders. Where Alta maintains a more purist sensibility, Snowbird accommodates the more cosmopolitan preference.

Snowbird Ski Resort sits only about 1 mile apart from Alta Ski Resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon in the Wasatch Mountains. In order that skiers fully enjoy the mountain-top beauty of both peaks, Snowbird Ski Resort began offering joint day passes and joint season tickets to skiers wishing uninterrupted access to skiable terrain on both mountains. Because Alta maintains their skiers-only policy, only skiers, not snowboarders, are permitted access and entrance to the new Mineral Basin lift on the back sides of Snowbird’s Hidden Peak and Alta’s Sugarloaf mountains.
