Solitude - Dynamite (Top to Bottom Run)

Dynamite is an intermediate ski trail located at Solitude Mountain Resort. The trail runs from the top of the Summit Express chairlift, down to the Solitude Village Base Area. The trail begins off to the skier's left of the top of the chairlift but quickly turns to the right and crosses back underneath the chairlift. The trail then turns to the left and proceeds to run down Solitude Canyon, featuring multiple dips and turns. The trail eventually enters a long runout, passing by the bottom of the Summit Express lift before eventually entering a wide-open final descent into the Solitude Village Base Area.
Solitude Mountain Resort is a ski area located in Brighton, Utah. The resort is located in eastern Salt Lake County, about a 40-minute drive southeast of Salt Lake City. The ski area is one of two ski areas located in the Big Cottonwood Canyon, the other being nearby Brighton, which is connected to Solitude via the SolBright trail. Skiers can ski both resorts on the same ticket for an additional fee or with an Ikon Pass. Solitude is known for its abundance of intermediate terrain but skiers of all skill levels can find something to ski at the resort. Though it is one of the smaller resorts in the Wasatch Mountains, the resort still packs a punch with its multiple different trail pods. Beginners will find an abundance of easier terrain off of the Moonbeam Express chairlift, however, this is the only section of the mountain with beginner terrain available. Intermediates will find something off of almost every lift at the resort while more advanced skiers and riders will find plenty of more difficult terrain off of the Powderhorn II and Summit chairlifts. Solitude features plenty of extreme terrain near the summit, including one of the more difficult inbound hikes in Fantasy Ridge. The resort is owned by Alterra Mountain Company and is, therefore, an unlimited destination on the Ikon Pass.

I haven't skied since I was a kid, but I'm looking to casually pick it back up. Thanks for sharing the run. Makes me feel less intimidated to get back out there!
